WatchFTP

WatchFTP is a handy Windows app that helps you easily sync data between your computers and an FTP server. It keeps an eye on directories and automatically copies any new or changed files. How cool is that?

Key Features of WatchFTP

This tool supports batch sync jobs and even sends you email notifications when things change. After a quick and simple setup, you're greeted by a straightforward window where you can add new tasks and tweak various settings.

Setting Up Your FTP Server

You start by entering your FTP server settings. You can choose a remote monitoring directory, with or without subfolders, and decide if you want to keep a session log. Plus, if you need to connect through the Internet using a proxy, that's doable too!

Sync Options That Fit Your Needs

When it comes to syncing options, WatchFTP lets you delete detected files from the FTP server if needed. You can set a delay time in hours for syncing, rename files after downloading, ignore zero-length files, or only download new ones without overwriting old ones. You can even apply filters to download specific types of files or avoid certain ones altogether.

Flexible Scheduling and Management

You have control over which folder contents to download or skip. WatchFTP can run in normal mode or as a Windows service in the background! You can schedule sync jobs for any day of the week too. Want some rest time between multiple jobs? No problem! You also get to decide how many days of history to keep.

If changes are detected, you can run batch scripts and receive emails about all those modifications too! Plus, tasks can be backed up into files so they can be imported later on another computer running WatchFTP.

User-Friendly Experience

The tool even allows password protection to limit access for other users and switch to different UI languages if you prefer. We found no error dialogs during our tests—the app was smooth as butter! It responded quickly to commands without freezing or crashing, all while using minimal system resources like CPU and RAM.

A Reliable Solution for Syncing Data

With its wide array of advanced settings, WatchFTP is sure to meet most users' needs who want a reliable way to sync their local PCs with remote servers automatically.
