FTPSync

Scenario

You regularly copy the same directories up to an FTP server, however often much of the effort is wasted as many of the files have not changed. For example, copying the updates to a website from a dev server to the live one.

Solution

Use FTPSync . It uses either the archive bit or the file date and time to determine whether a file h changed and then pushes I up to the FTP server. Download FTPSync from here
