And that would be a security breach because we have to disclose passsword in the script… (So another program to encrypt/decrypt that script) You need to use it with combination of other program. It’s a good program to synchronize directories within your Intranet but not good outside your network. Robocopy – It does not support synchronization directly from FTP. Syncrify – Does not support Command line! Client has to physically sign in to Sync data and it could be a security breach.

Rsync – It meant to run on Windows 2000, 2003 and NT 4.0 only! Huge limitation, I guess.ĭeltaCopy – It does not support command line. And more importantly, it does not allow you to synchronize contents. Windows – It has inbuilt FTP commands that you can use for file operations but it is not capable of doing Synchronization!įileZilla – It does not support advance command line arguments! It has only 3 commands and you can not actually input host name, username and password from script. I have list down the famous FTP software and whether they can actually support both synchronization and command line support or not. There are many software solutions available in the market at the moment that can support both Synchronization as well as Command line support. If you need to run scripting program on client side that can actually run from command line (by writing batch script) and then you can synchronize contents by writing scripts. Let’s further filter out, only few software can support command line. But only some of them actually support Synchronization. There are number of FTP software in the market that can support basic functionality like Add/Delete/View/Transfer files. Here I’m focusing on Synchronization because I want to update only new/modified files. Sometimes there is a need to synchronize contents from Server to Client or Client to Server.
