SYNOPSIS

turbo-ftp-sync [ options ] [ <localdir> <remoteURL> ]

DESCRIPTION

The script synchronizes files and folder on an FTP server with local ones via usual FTP protocol. The advantage of this script over usual FTP client is it doesn't upload all data every time but only once.

Its secret is that it doesn't ask a FTP server about last modification date and current size of each file. These information is stored in local SQLite db. Therefore this program doesn't explore folder tree of a remote host. It acts blindly. You can interrupt a process of this program in any time and you will not lose changes which you already uploaded.

The program can move changes only one direction from a local machine to remote one. If a file was changed on a remote machine and a local one then the program overwrite the remove version of the file by the local one.

turbo-ftp-sync.pl is based on sources of ftpsync.pl program. Christoph Lechleitner is the initial author of ftpsync.pl (ftpsync@ibcl.at)
