Hi

Anyone know of any software that can be scheduled to zip a folder on a local drive and then send the zip file to a ftp location ?
Any help, guidance would be appreciated

I assume this is needed for Windows - in that case a scheduled task can be made with a compression utility that accepts command line input, followed by using the bundled Windows ftp program using ftp -s:<scriptfile> Both operations could be used in a batch file for more elegance.

scriptfile would look something like below:

Code: 
open <ftpaddress>
username
password
put c:\<filename> <filename>
quit

There is also a high probability that certain backup software would have this as a feature.

Thanks for you help. I follow you up to the copy (put) command.
lets say I have a file called test.zip in C:\1 and I want to copy it to the htdocs folder, what would I do.
Ive tried the following but no luck

put c:\1\test.zip htdocs ( I guess ive fluffed it up here :) )
