Hi Everybody

Could anybody tell me how i can schedule a sync task in the CoreFTP. I am trailing this software and trying to test few features before i really think about buying this software.

if such feature is available then please let me know how to implement that

another thing which i want to know is can i Pause / Resume the scheduled sync task according to my needs.

i will appreciate any quick answer

I'd rate CoreFTP's SYNCing abilities some where between a 4 and an 8 (on a 1-10 scale) depending on what you're trying to do.

If you're trying to be sure a handful of files stay up to date, then the documentation will tell you how to schedule that through the GUI. That's the high-end with a rating of 8

If you're trying to make sure a destination folder/directory has the most recent files from a large source directory, then a script scheduled in Windows scheduler works well. One could also make this bi-directional by first using Folder A as the source and B as the destination then reservnig them.

If you want files deleted from the source to also be deleted from the destination, that feature doesn't exist in CoreFTP. At least not yet. This is the low end with a rating of 4.

I use CoreFTP, via command mode script to sync several large directories . Why CoreFTP if I don't give it high marks? Because it is FTP based .AND. allows the sync to encrypt the remote files. That and as an FTP client for one off transfers, it is great. But I got it from the encription features.
