This is a solution based on fossfreedom's answer, Synchronizing 2 Ubuntu Systems with Unison and the Unison manual.

To do the same from the NAT pc start unison-gtk, configure the local gnote folder as above, and the desktop pc folder as per this picture

You will now be able to sync folders either manually or automatically. Then click the SSH radiobutton and enter the host name localhost Now enter both the NAT pc gnote folder and the socket number 62222 from desktop pc to NAT pc ssh -p 6222 localhostĪnd from NAT pc to desktop pc ssh configure a unison configuration on your desktop pc unison-gtk &Įnter the FULL path to your gnote folder as per this picture Test the link both ways to confirm you can see both computers home directory. Sudo dpkg -i unison-gtk_2.32.52-3+b1_bįollow the openssh-server guide above to setup a SSH link between your two computers. the version in Natty has a serious SSH bug and does not work. Now open your browser and download the Debian version of unison-gtk - i386 for 32bit and amd64 for 64bit Natty and install it N.B. On each PC you'll need to install openssh-server to enable you to ssh between each PC at any one time together with unison sudo apt-get install openssh-server unison unison-gtk So here is a guide to get Unison to work. However during my testing, I found that the version of unison in Natty doesnt work with the openssh version in Natty. Since you are behind a NAT then you can use the concept of reverse ssh connections - rather than duplicate, there is an excellent step-by-step in this AU question and answer. Therefore you could use something like Unison (install unison-gtk from software centre) to sync the gnote folder between the two computers if they are on the same network. Gnote holds its notes in the folder ~/.local/share/gnote
