Custom sync between Sharepoint 2010 and NTFS files

Question

I would like to write a sync mechanism that will sync files from file system on server with sharepoint 2010 document libraries. I’m trying to find the best method for this and I have found that Sharepoint is using Sync Framework when syncing with Workspace 2010. Can anybody point me to any resource that shows any sample how to use Sync Framework and sharepoint? I found this posthttp://www.chakkaradeep.com/post/SharePoint-2010-ListsGetListItemChangesWithKnowledge-Method.aspx but I don’t really understand what this has to do with sync framework – this only give me list of files changed and all sync logic I had to write myself? I didn’t use Sync framework before and I’m wondering is there a simply way to use this framework by setting source and destination and sync logic will be handled by Sync Framework - Sharepoint sync provider?

there is no OOTB sync provider for SharePoint so you will have to write your own. the custom provider will need to interact with the web services exposed by SharePoint as indicated in the blog post you mentioned above.

check out how to write a custom provider in the documentation. you may also check out these samples to get an idea how to sync files with a custom provider:
