Powerful Utilities included in WS_FTP Pro


enlarge Scheduler - Provides you with the ability to schedule your file transfer tasks on the dates and times you specify. Use this feature to run scripts developed with the Scripting utility at set intervals.


enlarge Synchronize - Allows you to "mirror" directory structures between your system and a remote FTP server with minimal manual intervention. It lets you keep remote sites up-to-date by automatically uploading files, which have changed, while deleting files that have been removed from the master directory. This is very useful for quickly and efficiently updating live Web sites from an authoring site or for mirroring FTP servers.


enlarge Find - Lets you search FTP sites for files that match a name or pattern. This is especially useful when looking for one file on a large, complex FTP site. You can also find files by size or date.


enlarge Scripting - Automates the transfer and management of files through a series of FTP commands such as "open", "get", and "put". You can create a script that instructs WS_FTP Pro to upload certain files, and then use Scheduler to run the script at regularly scheduled times.
