So in ftp voyager you'd synch folders - it lists differences between
server and local in two different windows - you hit the remote sync button
- it only uploads files that are not on the remote or are different (older
/ newer) whatever.
if you want to automate it you'd set up a scheduled action to synchronize
the remote folder to your local folder.
The synch action (you can have several) can take the parameters
previously mentioned - e.g. only upload files that don't exist or are
newer than on the remote. Is that not what you want?
Or am I missing something fundamental?
