I saw a few articles and videos on how to write a script to sync a remote and local directory, whether that be remote-local, local-remote or bidirectional. However that script has to be run by the user, and I don't see the point in double-clicking my so-said automatic sync script every time I want to update my directory(s) rather than just hitting "synchronise" in the WinSCP GUI.
Is there a way to make WinSCP update the directories every time a file changes? Just to make sure I'm clear, I'm not interested in it synchronising on startup, but rather every time a file changes.
By the way, I'm running WinSCP on Debian, using Wine, but I don't think that matters much.
cron
and thersync
utility to accomplish this the unix way. Google will take you right to places that will tell you how to pull this off.rsync
doesn't work over FTP, which is what I need. I'll try withlftp
instead. Thank you for knocking me out of my stupidity.
