FTP Functions
New in Ver1.4
Xmanage now includes FTP functions to allow complete management of all your FTP hosted sites. (Note: If a site is HTML managed only, this does not apply!)
FTP allows you to upload or download files to or from a server using File Transfer Protacol. You must enter the FTP address the password and user name for each site in the SITE database for each site you wish to control via FTP. Some sites do not use FTP but instead use a HTML mangament software to allow you to manage files on the server. Xmanage can not control the uploads to these sites.
When managing a site you often need to upload or download groups of files. With Xmanage you can create upload/download programs that will either upload or download individual files or groups of files from the server and local directories. You can test to see if the file tranfered is older than target file and if so abort the upload/download.
Schedule your file tranfers with Xmanage.
You can schedule you upload/download tranfers to occure anytime of day or night and have them reoccure every day or every day of the week or every Thursday etc. So all you need to do is copy the files you want to transfer to a special subdirectory (folder) and let Xmanage transfer them to your site while you sleep or work at your day job.
