Update (07/19/2007) wiSync 1.0 Officially Launched:
wiSync 1.0 was launched yesterday, with a full GUI implementation as promised, and a host of enhancements and customizability! Now includes a native iPhone app to manage remote synchronization directly from your iPhone!

Update (07/12/2007) Final Beta Released:
Fantastic news! The final beta version of iSync has been released. This release is guaranteed to work on all macs. The method by which the app calls the GUI has had a major overhaul and this means that the app will now "just work" for everyone. No need to set it to run in terminal or anything, and no more problems involving text not appearing in the text fields.
The best news, however, is that this is the final version of iSync that uses a GUI maker, we have a new c++ coder on board, godshadow. The next release will have its own Cocoa GUI, everything will run from within the GUI so no more annoying terminal windows, and you will only have to enter a password once.
More importantly, though, is that we are now in active development of wifi calendar and contacts synchronization, and this makes itunes synchronization that much closer to mass availability. Additionally, the new app will enable 'true' automatic sync, any time you make a change to the sync dir, your iPod/iPhone will be updated, and vice versa. Also, the new app will have an iTunes-like interface for simplicity, and when iTunes support is enabled, you will be able to see your sync dir and your playlists within the app.
And for those of you who are windows users, you can rejoice, because we will finally have windows support in the next 2 weeks. Those of you who use linux, support for your OS will come even sooner than that!
Bear with us though, but the app will be out of beta by then. Obviously because of trademark issues, we need to change the name of the app to something less provocative. We haven't decided what to call it yet, but we'll come up with something

Sorry I didn't post this earlier. You need to enable Remote Login in your Mac Sharing preferences for this to work.
New version (0.3b) out. I suggest everyone use the supplied uninstaller (Toggle) to do a complete uninstall and fresh install with the new version. This release improves battery life!

is it possible to do with Windows?
siantslil23:
The difficulty in creating a tool like this for Windows lies in 3 issues:
1. Windows does not have built-in ssh server technology
2. Windows cannot, without at least some difficulty, run the shell scripts necessary to synchronize (eg rsync)
3. If I were able to get around those 2 issues, I still would not be able to come up with a GUI for it. If anyone is interested in porting my code to a Windows interface they can find the shell source code on my googlecode page:

New version released with an installer, see initial post

looking at your terminal output it seems that the setup worked. SSH from your computer to your iphone and back is also working so its not an issue with port forwarding.
Open terminal on your mac and type this command in:
ssh root@192.168.0.101
type 'alpine' as the password and then enter this command:
crontab -l
(thats 'l' as in 'L')
PM me the output of that command so I can help you get this thing working
Sorry if its taken me a while to respond, I'm currently in the middle of finals at med school and I can't put a lot of time into development. If there are any bugs or other serious issues its important for me to know and I'm glad that you reported this.
