If you do regular file transfers, such as updating a web site nightly, or sending an accounting report to the home office weekly, you may find it easier to automate the transfer. Several WS_FTP Professional tools let you automate transfers:
If you want to: |
Use this tool: |
|---|---|
Have a regular transfer, such as a file upload, occur at a specified time interval, such as every Thursday at 5:00 pm. |
Scheduler Utility. See the Scheduler Utility chapter. |
Mirror a set of files on your PC with a set of files on an FTP server. |
Synchronize Utility. See Synchronizing Files and Folders. |
Automate a regular process that includes not only a file transfer, but actions such as changing directories, deleting files, or checking for the success or failure of a command. |
Script Utility. See the Script Utility chapter. |
You can open any of these tools from the Tools menu.
