How to synchronise files between 2 Centos 5 Servers
Say, I use the machine to store my data e.g. xls, word, txt and other files and wish to synchronise the directories to a 2nd server at a remote location. The specific data files are to stay in sinc with each other.
There is also a MYSQL DB that I would like to synchronise across the two machines.
What can you suggest please?

Your CentOS repository should contain 'rsync'. So you should be able to install it right away using the common CentOS software manager. I am not familiar with this one, so I cannot help you with installing using its installer.
I never give away a single fish if I can show you how to fish. This would end up in a mess as soon as there is something going wrong.
Therefor also have a look at this tutorial: rsync tutorial II

A Question, How can one protect against corruption of the data due to rsync?
rsync uses checksums internally, so you should be on the safe side with it.
