FTP Upstreamer project

Tue, Mar 11, 2003

I want to gauge interest in a new project. How many of you out there (and I know there are something like 7 of you :) would actually use a utility that did the following:

  • Had a list of local directories and FTP servers/paths
  • Monitored those dirs (timer or file change notifications) for changes.
  • Upstream new files (based on file times) to the FTP server. This wouldn't be a full sync but would rather be a copy. It would never delete anything from the server.
  • Has a tray icon to let you know what is going on.

BTW, this is a feature stolen almost verbatim from Radio. I think that it would be useful to break it out into its own utility.

The real reason I would want this is that frickin' VS.Net doesn't have a way to deply an ASP.Net application to an FTP server. You can copy it or use FP extentions, but you can't FTP that guy up there.

I would include source and an installer for this guy.

If you are interested, email me at eightypercent at bedafamily.com and I'll think about putting something together.
