I have a school issued laptop running Windows 7 on which I cannot install anything or run .exe.
Apart from just using a USB, any recommendations for syncing text files or am I dreaming?

First: Do you have any sort of compiler on it? There is one, called Windows Power Shell, that comes integrated with Windows, some editions at least. You may learn it and create a script. Second: you may use Windows Shared folder and Samba on Linux. After connection, you may use rsync on Linux to pull the data over network to your Linux machine. Third: Boot that laptop from LiveUSB and do what you want. |

You can give a try to services like Ubuntu One or Dropbox, you don't have to install anything if you cannot and your files are always accessible from the http interface. |

As said Chris-Top, you can use Dropbox to sync your files between your two computers. You just have got to install the client application on both, or just on one of the two: you'll be able to open and edit your files ont the Dropbox website (www.dropbox.com) The free account gives you 2 Gb of web space, you can buy some Premium accounts to increase this space (https://www.dropbox.com/pricing) Good luck ! =P |
