Sync folder to ftp site

Hi guys,
Pretty much a novice, but looking for an app that will allow me to "watch" a folder and then sync (preferably close to real-time) that folder to a back up location of my choice (including an FTP site).
What is available?
Thanks

I use Tri-Backup Pro...

  • Create folder in FTP site

    Hello,
    I have an FTP site that is used in conjunction with one of my processes. I would like to be able to check if a particular folder already exists in the FTP site, and if it doesn't create one. I have been able to do this within the regular file system (using the file utilities components Is Directory and Make Directory), but am having trouble setting this up in an FTP site. I have been trying to use those same components used for the file utilities, but can't seem to make it happen. Is it possible, and how should I go about doing this? Thank you ahead of time for any assistance.

    Kendy,
    Yes I am able to perform this task in the file system without any problems (creating network folders on shared network drives). I would like to be able to do the same with an FTP server. Aside from using an FTP server (uploading and downloading), I guess I'm lacking knowledge of how the back end of an FTP server works (I haven't had much luck in my google searches on the topic either). Should their be an accompanying file system location for an FTP site, or is FTP something that is set up on its own, seperate from a file system? If there is an accompanying file system location for an FTP server, then I can use the File Utility components to search for the folder, and create it if it doesn't already exist. I have tried doing this with the FTP site URL but am unable to get the MakeDir to work in this regard. I have also tried using the Put component from the FTP utilities. Placing a txt file in a folder that doesn't exist on my FTP server in hopes that it would create the directory, but this does not work either. I can Put the file in folders that already exist on the FTP site, but cannot automatically add these folders through a workflow.

  • NEW * Cannot upload folder to FTP site

    Hi, I am a new user to Mac - switched from PC and I have several questions, my first is trying to upload files to an FTP site. It states the FTP can not be modified - however, using windows no problem. Can anyone help on this? TIA -

    This is not an issue with Mac/PC compatibility.
    FTP access from the Finder is read-only. You'll need a dedicated FTP client app such as Cyberduck (free), Transmit, Fetch or Filezilla (Free)

  • Folder linked to FTP site

    Hello,
    Some time ago I created a link to an FTP site that functions like a local directory. Recently, I needed to create another one but have forgotten how I created the first. I am able "add a network location" but that doesn't achieve the
    same type of connection. Look at the images below. Number one is what I want to create, number two is the network location. Note the difference in icons in the first image. In the second image I display the properties of each type of link. I also opened a
    DOS window. The connection I want show itself as a <DIR> while the network location shows as "***.lnk".
    The type of link I want to create works much better with the interfaces of some of my installed programs, they navigate just like folders. The ***.lnk connections cannot be seen by the program's interface.
    Do you recognize what kind of connection (#1) this is? And could you tell me how I can create another?
    Thank you for your help, Tom
    PS> I was unable to attach the images because my account wasn't verified so I will try to describe at least the icon I have. It is a open folder sitting vertically, there is an arrow in the lower left pointing upward and to the right. The properties
    says it is a file folder, but its' location is the ftpsite including login and password  There is only one tab shown when opening the properties.
    Thanks again for your help, Tom

    Hi,
    Have you tried mapping your fpt site as a local drive?
    The FTPUSE command maps a remote share (FTP server) as a local drive.

  • How  to read all files  under a folder directory in FTP site

    If you use Chris Poole's XUTL_FTL package, I believe that contains functions that allows you to query the directory contents.

  • How can I display the folders in an ftp site in Windows Explorer during a Firefox web browsing session?

    I would like to view and select multiple files from a folder on an ftp site and copy them to a folder on my computer, but with Firefox it seems I have to plod through one file at a time. In IE there is a Page button which has an option to display the site in Windows Explorer, which allows me to select and copy as many files as I want at one time.
    Does such a feature exist in Firefox, or an approximation?
    Thank you

    That is done via an onbeforeunload or onunload event that displays a JavaScript alert.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.onbeforeunload
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.onunload
    You can try to search for a Greasemonkey script to reset and block such events.

  • Document Updates in a folder via FTP considered Publish Points?

    Hello,
    We currently have a website that is deployed via IIS that we are planning to move to Azure Web Services.
    This web contains a folder in the web site directory that contains files and documents for users to download. The site itself contains code that manages the files, and presents specific files to specific users.
    Throughout the month, these files and document gets updated (additions as well as replacements); even though the website does not get updated.  Users use FTP to transfer files into current folder on the IIS server.
    The issue we are facing:
    My concern is that updating documents in this folder via FTP does not create a publish point (and considered as dynamic changes) and if the site is re-deployed or scaled, the document changes are not picked up.
    Can anybody confirm that: If we use FTP to update documents in this folder, Azure Web Services will recognize this as a Publish Point?
    Thank you.  Your help is very much appreciated.
    PCR.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I confirmed that we are using Azure Websites.
    We had a previous website with a similar situation where the website contained a folder with documents (pdf, doc, and xls).  Files were added into this folder periodically.  Then one day we noticed that a number of files were missing.  When
    we researched the problem, we were led to believe that something on the back end moved the website to a different server, and used a previous instance of the website.
    Our web development manager thought he found an article that stated that we should not keep dynamic files within the website structure.
    It would be great if this is no longer the case (or that we are mistaken in our interpretation).

  • Cant open ftp site on ipad

    Hello. I have to figure out a way to allow ipad users to open a specific ftp folder from our ftp site on their ipads. so far when i attempt to open the ftp url safari tells me i have no permission. if i try it at my computer it works properly and prompts me for a password. the only option i have found is to give these people access to the whole ftp site via one of the many ftp apps out there. the problem with that is they may end up deleting something they shouldnt or seeing something they are not supposed to have access to.
    ftp://[email protected]/CEB%20Joint%20meeting%20October%2017   is the url

    Try to reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • IWeb To FTP site........Having trouble doing it.....

    Ok, so last time I asked about uploading my iweb to a web site that I own and it was answered with a video that a teacher made for other teachers at her school. Well I finally tried it out and umm kinda didnt work out for me. So this is what I did.
    Made my web page, publish to a folder, typed the url I want it to got to in the url line, went to my FTP program (its yummy ftp, not sure if thats the problem) and grabbed both files and uploaded them to my folder on the ftp site, went to my url www.uopaintball.com, nothing Any ideas ?????

    Hi Jonathon, The following advice is from Fetch -- another FTP program; but it may apply to your situation...
    "The most common problem when trying to upload pages created with iWeb is that for your website to work correctly once you upload it, after you publish your website to a folder, you need to upload the contents of the folder - but not the folder itself - to your server."

  • How to publish to FTP site NOT mobile me???

    how do i publish the site to an FTP site that is hosting for me? i don't have mobile me and dont want it if i don't have to. please help. thanks!

    As you have posted this in the iWeb 08 forum I am assuming that you are using iWeb 08 which does not have a built in ftp to server option.
    In iWeb 08 you need to select the publish to a folder option and your site will be published to your Home Sites folder - there will be an index file, plus the Site folder of the same name that you named your site in iWeb.
    Next you need to download Cyberduck free from the internet - this is a dedicated ftp program that you use to upload your files to your server. Open Cyberduck and enter your host, username and password details to connect with your host and then upload both your Site folder and your index.html file to your server. Your Site folder needs to be placed in the public_html folder on your server or whichever folder your server requires you to upload to. The index file needs to sit outside this folder to point into it.

  • Posting to FTP Site - Root Directory

    My first time publishing to a hosted site but I can not seem to overwrite the old site data. My iWeb created site does not post to the root www.xxxx.ca but to www.xxx.ca/2010/Home.html.
    2010 is the name of my site in iWeb and Home is the first page.
    I would like this page (home) to go right to www.xxx.ca? Is there something I am missing?
    Can anyone shed some light?
    Thanks in advance!

    The OP can upgrade the hosting account to accommodate more than one IP address.
    For example, I use the Host Excellence Ultimate Business plan which costs about $8 per month and allows for 15 dedicated IP Addresses.
    The advantage of Host Excellence is that you don't have to upload to a folder with a predetermined name. Once the domain name is registered, a couple of clicks in the control panel will create a folder of that name as the root folder for that site.
    All these root folders can be viewed side by side with any decent FTP application in any one account.

  • Files on FTP site won't load

    My goal is to link together a course, a quiz for the course,
    and a course survey that are all going to be hosted on a
    password-protected FTP site. My first attempt to do this was by
    going into movie preferences and pointing movie 1 to movie 2 and so
    on. This works locally and it works if I put all files in the root
    of the FTP site, but if I put the files in a subfolder (making the
    appropriate path changes in the movie and republishing them), movie
    1 ends and doesn't load movie 2. Using sub-folders is neccessary to
    avoide confusing learners who will be accessing the FTP site.
    I also tried using the Captivate Player and as with the other
    method, it works locally. Regardless of where on the FTP site I put
    the files, none of the movies load.
    It seems to me that this is a problem that I'll have to take
    up with my Network Admin, but it's Sunday and I was hoping that one
    of you had an insight that could help me fix the problem today.
    Michael

    Don't apologize, Michael, we've all been "stressed out". You
    said . . .
    quote:
    1. I published a movie to the FTP site as an SWF file, and when
    I ran the HTML file for the movie, the movie ran. I then published
    two movies to the site as SWF files that are linked together (the
    first one linked to the second one in the movie preferences), then
    I ran movie A. It ran and and then movie B started.
    Good. Step 1 mission accomplished!
    You said . . .
    quote:
    2. I created a sub-folder in the FTP site and placed the linked
    SWF files there. Movie A runs, but movie B doesn't run when movie A
    ends.
    Taking you at your word, you
    placed only the SWF file in the sub-folder, so the link was
    broken - thus, the 2nd movie
    couldn't run.
    You said . . .
    quote:
    3. I published three movies to the root of the FTP site as SWF
    files. I also uploaded the Captivate Player files to the site. I
    modified the Player XML file so that the 3 SWF files are being
    used. When I load the player, the menu shows the three movies, but
    none of them will load.
    Check the other Captivate Player files. Sounds
    like something got left out when you either 1) configured Captivate
    Player, or 2) uploaded the Captivate Player support files. From
    what you said here, it sounds like it is Captivate Player that
    isn't running, not the movies in the XML. You might double-check to
    see if you are opening the "Index.HTML". Matter of fact, you might
    even want to change the name of Index.HTML and link to the new name
    . . . it won't fix this problem, but after you get it fixed, you
    might find that renaming Index.HTML will eliminate some confusion.
    Just a thought.
    Overall Michael, it sounds to me like you are really tired
    and expecting too much of yourself in that state. Take a fresh look
    at it after getting some rest and a new perspective. Just another
    thought, but this one is even better than the first.

  • Configured FTP Now site in Local an FTP site

    I configured my site in Manage Site/Configure Server for FTP. Now my site is an ftp://site with an empty cgi-bin folder in the Local Files dialog box. I can't get back to my regular site even though everything is still on my hard drive.
    Any help sure would be appreciated.

    Have you inadvertently defined the site via Manage Sites > New > FTP & RDS Server?
    If not, what info have you entered into the Local and Remote site definitions?

  • Enabling User Isolation on IIS FTP site

    We have a FTP site currently set to 'Do not isolate users' and 'FTP root folder'. This works nicely for most of our users however we want to add another user who needs to start in a specific sub directory.
    I think this can be achieved using user isolation by setting a home directory in AD for all users as per here: http://www.iis.net/learn/publish/using-the-ftp-service/configuring-ftp-user-isolation-in-iis-7
    However that would require setting it for all our other users and potentially disrupting them. Are there any other good approaches that i've missed?
