Synchronize with FTP/WebDAV (Windows)
FreeFileSync does not support accessing FTP volumes directly. But this functionality can be integrated by mapping the FTP web space to a drive letter:
Example: Use the free utility NetDrive (http://www.netdrive.net)
- Add a New Site and specify site name, site URL, drive letter, account and password.
- Use the newly created drive as if it were a normal hard disk.
NoteMost FTP drives set a file's time stamp to the current time when
synchronizing ignoring the source file's time and date. As a workaround you can do a
Compare by File Size.
Synchronize with SFTP (Linux)
An SFTP share can be easily mapped onto a local folder for use with FreeFileSync:
- Install:
sudo apt-get install sshfs
- Mount SFTP share:
sshfs [email protected]:<path> mountpoint
- Unmount:
fusermount -u mountpoint
