Automatically sync folders through FTP

Post by batfastad »

Hi everyone
Obviously I use FTP all the time, we run an FTP server etc.

But I'm looking for some sort of windows service or linux daemon that runs and just constantly syncs specified local-remote folder pairs through FTP.

So if someone on our work LAN drops a file into a shared folder on our NAS, it automatically gets uploaded to its remote equivalent on a specific FTP server.
Likewise if someone deletes/renames/replaces/updates a file in that local shared folder, those changes get replicated on the remote FTP server.

Rather than FTP, something that syncs with an S3 bucket would work too as I'm thinking of moving this particular image dump over to AWS S3.

Anyone know if there's anything like that around?

Cheers, Ben

Hi everyone
Just thought I'd share a possible solution: a program called Weex that I found in the Ubuntu repositories. Not tried it out yet, but it looks like it wil definitely do the business for us.

Hope this helps someone out! :lol:
