File sync over lan

I have 4 computers on my home network. I play Diablo 2 and want to sync the saved game files on each computer so my saved character is accessible from any computer.

The ideal way would be as soon as any saved game file is changed at any of the computers it is copied to the others. Or secondly maybe a batch file I could click on any computer to sync all the files.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brad

Brad, SWAG, have the game save into the briefcase? Seems to me I recall that a file in the breifcase gets synched automatically as it's opened?

Thanks, but that won't work. Diablo 2 saves the files in a specific directory (Can't find a way to change it). I want this to be unattended. I have been googling a lot and what I need is a file sync program that runs as a service on my server and works over a network (a preferably a freeware prog). I haven't found one yet with all that.
