<p>If you don&#39;t have access (direct or remote) to a computer running GNU/Linux there are several options, one of which is vfsync.</p>

<p>VFsync (for Virtual File Synchronization) is a secure file synchronization system.</p>

<pre><code> *   In a web based virtual machine. The files can be manipulated with all the standard Unix commands and imported or exported to the host system.
 *  In a small Desktop based virtual machine. It is faster than the web based virtual machine and unlike other virtual machines, no disk image needs to be downloaded.
 *  With a small standalone client directly running on the host system.
