ftp Automation

#1 Post by gt651 » 2009-01-05 17:34

Does Fz have any automation features? If not what's a good choice for doing a couple of simple ftp task each 24 hrs?

PS: Fz works great for me.

Thanks Gary

No, it has no automation features. It's intended to be a purely interactive client.

You can use:
wget (download only)
lftp (Linux or Cygwin only)
ncftp
ftp.exe scripting (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555976)

If you need to schedule things, use Task Scheduler or cron.

Commercial FTP clients do often have automation capabilities.
