FTP automation.

Hi,

Very often I have the need to upload full directories and files to a several dozens of websites.
I'm looking a tool that allows me to create a batch file to run this repetitive task just once, or to save some sort of macros to repite the same task with a mouse click.
Does this exists?

It may be possible to achieve something like this using a task scheduler such as cron. Lets say you schedule each server to download the latest version of the files at 1am. You then need to upload the new files onto the "donor" server at midnight.

You could set your cron to execute a script to trigger wget for example. set each server's script to wget from the donor server.

This is probably not the preferred method for doing this. I am hoping someone else will be able to offer a better solution.

Mack.

Cute FTP Pro does such things and they have a trial download.
