What is WatchFTP?

WatchFTP

WatchFTP is a handy Windows application that helps you keep your files in sync between your computers and an FTP server. It does this automatically by watching folders and copying any new or changed files without you needing to lift a finger.

Features of WatchFTP

This tool isn’t just about syncing; it also supports batch jobs and can send you email notifications when things are done. Pretty cool, right?

Easy Setup Process

The setup is quick and easy—no tech wizardry required! Once you get through the straightforward installation, you'll see a simple window where you can start adding tasks and tweaking settings to your liking.

Configuring FTP Settings

You’ll want to kick things off by setting up your FTP server details. This includes choosing a directory to watch (you can pick one with or without subfolders) and deciding if you want to keep a session log. Plus, if you're using a proxy for Internet access, that’s no problem either!

Sync Options Made Simple

When it comes to what happens during syncing, you've got options! You can tell WatchFTP to delete files from the FTP server once downloaded, set delays (in hours), rename files post-download, ignore empty files, or just grab new ones without overwriting existing ones. You can even filter downloads so only specific types of files come through.

Advanced Features

You can choose what folder content gets downloaded or skipped altogether. Want WatchFTP running quietly in the background? It can do that as a Windows service too! You can schedule syncs for every day of the week, set sleep times between jobs, decide how many days of history to keep, and even run batch scripts whenever changes pop up. Plus, it sends emails about all these updates!

User-Friendly Backup Options

If you're worried about losing tasks, don’t be! You can back them up into files for later use on another computer running WatchFTP. If security is on your mind, there’s an option to password-protect the app so only authorized users have access.

Smooth Performance

In our tests, we didn’t encounter any error messages or crashes—everything ran smoothly! The app responded quickly and didn’t hog system resources since it requires low CPU and RAM.

Your Reliable Syncing Solution
