are you planning on writing to both servers?<br />
<br />
If you are you could set up master - master replication - that way you wouldn't have to worry about copying files anywhere mysql would handle it all.<br />

alternatively if you're only writing to one of them you could use master - slave replication<br />

hi, i dont thinki i worded my question very well. Neither of the machines are servers, they are both simply development machines that i work on. I work on one machine in the day and one machine at night. Any changes i make to one database in the day i would like to propagate to the machine i use in the evening. The computers are not connected via a network in any way so i dont think i can use replication as shown in the links upi recommend.<br />
thanks

Synchronise 2 databases on remote computers not a network

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
