Hello,

I'm looking for an FTP automation program that can do the following.

1. Run on a Win 2003 server as a service, or be launched by the Windows Scheduler with no user logged in.

2. Monitor an FTP directory from another server and transfer files that have been updated since last check (remote monitoring....)

3. Do all of this without anyone logged into the server.

Do any of your products do this?
Thanks!
Bryan

AbleFtp ($70) , JaSFtp ($100) and Automize ($130) can all do this.

1) all have NT service support. all three products tasks can be run from inbuilt scheduler or as an external process from windows scheduler.

2) all 3 have a very customizable Ftp task. Every time a file is transferred, its remote source path and modified time is logged into a Ftp transfer log (small database file). subsequently, the remote source file will be transferred only if it has been modified according to the log.
There are other options available to suit your other Ftp needs.

3) JaSFtp has SFtp support and Automize has more automation related features.

Thanks for the info... I'll download the trial and take it for a spin.

Thanks!
