NNJZ Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hello;I work in a break-fix repair shop. My co workers are idiots, and I usually end up picking up the slack. As such, (to make it a little easier on me) I have provided each of them with a flash drive with some useful repair tools. Usually, this means I also end up maintaining them as well when new versions/updates are released, or when I want to add a new tool to the library.What I would like to do is simply set up an FTP directory with what I want to be on their drives, and maintain only that directory. To do this I need a very simple, "set and forget" solution or portable program that can be run from the flash drives. What I want this program to do is (after being configured) be a "1-click" solution (as to not confuse my co workers) to check the remote FTP directory, and mirror that directory on the flash drives; deleting, updating, and creating new folders/downloading files as necessary WITHOUT deleting everything off the flash drive and re downloading the full FTP directory. (IE - Only downloading new/change files and folders, while deleting anything present on the flash drive but not present on the FTP directory).If you know of any such solution program that has a simple interface and is portable, I would be very appreciative. I have tried out many programs searching for this. Most aren't simple enough or only offer backing up TO the FTP server, not the reverse.I do not mind paying for the software.Thank you,DIatech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen2 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 For example, winscp scripting capabilities should solve your problem (i didn't try them though) and particularly the keepuptodate instruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
