Syncronize a folder on my desktop...

Is this possible and if so how can I do it??

I want to syncronise my "website" folder on my desktop with "public_html" on the server so anything I copy into the desktop folder goes onto the website and visa-versa.

Any ideas guys? Image file not present in the recovered backup

I think active sync can do this, try searching the Microsoft help documents.

'Active Sync'
Says its for Mobile Devices, and scans for mobile devices so it dont work Image file not present in the recovered backup

Any other ideas?

yeah, get a job ya hippy....


This has been another relative, helpful post on behalf of Luke.

Wtf skipper, that has nothing to do with anything lol

Ah, I thought it may work for folder also.

What you could do is create a shortcut on your desktop to your FTP folder with the internet explorer prefix that automatically logs in when you click it. Try this;

Right click on a blank space on your desktop, go to "New" then click "shortcut". In the dialog that pops up asking for your path to the shortcut paste this:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" ftp://username:[email address redacted]:21/public_html

Replacing "username" with your FTP username, "password" with your FTP password and "domain.com" with your domain name (FTP address).

I don't know if there is a way to syncronise, however this is your best bet.

After some digging around, I couldn't find anything by default in Windows that allows syncronisation.

If you'd still prefer to use syncronisation rather than my shortcut method, try this software...

Get the free 30 day trial, it looks good.


Alternatively, another application that looks promising is "Easy Sync". Try it first:

http://www.download.com/Easy-File-Sync/300...tml?tag=lst-0-1

It's freeware, so no licensing costs after 30 days. Pretty sure it supports FTP, and the interface is simple as fuck. Enter the "left" folder as your local folder and the right folder as "ftp://username:[email address redacted]:21/public_html" then setup the time you want the sync job to run.

Cheers dude, that'll do for a while <3

EDIT:
Ooh program I'll check that out too :-)

I included another link which is freeware, check it

Looks good and easy to use but doesnt support FTP by the looks of this....

Crying shame

All the other apps I could find are shareware, not freeware

Hmmm... oh well thanks anyway Gsus. :-)
I shall just use the FTP and do it the longer way lol
