I have a folder on my Win7 laptop that I wish to mirror to my 200GB Ubuntu VPS.
I do not wish to sync the folders. If I accidentally delete something on the server, I do not wish it to disappear on my laptop "automatically". All I want is to mirror what I have in my Windows folder, and when I add/edit stuff on my laptop, I want the VPS to get updated, but not the other way around.
I don't want to get some cloud service, since I have this VPS more or less free.
People online seem to recommend this Unison soft.

More suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
FYI. The purpose is that I want to travel with my laptop, and if it burns or get stolen, I want to be able to pick up a new lappy, DL my files, and get back to work.

syncthing
you can set the share on the laptop to be the "master", meaning only changes on the laptop are acted upon

alternatively, since it's just one-way, you could instead run rsync periodically

FreeFileSync can sync any two folders over SMB or SFTP. I use it all the time for my Debian box. It can do one or two way mirroring.

With the obvious requirement of setting up FTP on your VPS prior.

create a windows scheduled task that runs however often you want (once a day, once an hour, every 5 mins) that does a winscp synchronize. works with sftp/scp so dont need to open up or configure regular ftp bullshit and worry about it being insecure

Thx for the answers people (keep 'em coming if you wish, appreciated).
Testing out Unison, but too knackered right now to make it work.
Syncthing looks very interesting. Some of the other stuff as well.

rsync or get out
most optimized way to sync (or mirror) folders. You're mistaken, what you do is sync. Mirror is where you'd delete any missing files. Rsync by default, as the name implies syncs, with the --delete flag it'll mirror
