This tool is for synchronization of files between local copies and the copies on a FTP server.
BatchSync is a reliable and high speed solution for automating file synchronization (ftp sync). This is useful for backups, copying, moving, mirroring, and replication over FTP. This software solution could be run at scheduled times for getting synchronization done unattended. To help monitoring these services you have the features of logging of events, email notifications on specified trigger events, etc. Many situations can use the features of automatic sync feature effectively. For example, as you edit, update web pages the automatic synchronization will ensure that the copies on the website FTP server is in lock step and the changes made reflect of the pages visible to the world. When a web server mirror is used for reliability and availability of your site, this automatic sync will ensure that both website servers have exactly the same web page information.
Managed file transfers, remote server backup, offsite database backup are some other situations that can benefit from the features of the synchronization tool. The tool ensures FTP sync between local/network and FTP server folders (FTP sync makes folders identical). Bi-directional sync is taken care of. One way file sync as well as one way file replication are supported. File move as well as file move and archive of source file to other folders are supported. IPv6 support is available. Command line batch sync operations can be set up. Multi-threaded transfers are supported. During the back and forth transfers, the tool will maintain automatic reconnects, retries, and resumes. This is a good tool.
