I have a laptop and a desktop. the laptop can ssh to the desktop. both have ubuntu hardy installed, the laptop has conduit 0.3.10 from https://launchpad.net/~conduit/+archive


On each machine i make a folder called conduit-test.
On the laptop i use nautilus (2.22.2) 'connect to server', i choose the ssh option, i put in the desktops hostname, the path to the desktop's conduit-test folder, and choose to make a bookmark called desktop-conduit.
In conduit on the laptop, i create a folder to folder sync.
I set the left on to point to the laptops local conduit-test folder, i set the right to the mounted ssh folder (it is in the drop down list, because it is a book mark). I name the lefthand side 'local-conduit' and the righthand 'desktop-condiut'.
I set it to 2 way sync.

now i put some files into conduit-test on the desktop. i can see them in nautilus on the mounted ssh folder.

now i tell conduit on the laptop to do a 2 way sync.

I expect the files in the desktop's conduit-test folder to now be in the laptops conduit-test folder.

instead, the laptops conduit-test folder now has a folder called 'desktop-conduit' inside this are the files from the desktop.

now i add a file to the conduit-test folder on the laptop

I run a 2way sync again. now the desktop conduit folder has the original files, plus a folder called 'local-conduit', in this is a folder called 'desktop-conduit' and in this are the original files.

This all seems to be a confusing mess to me.
