FlashFXP Forums - View Single Post - Syncing directory with thousands of files

OdieGiblet · 09-10-2002, 03:17 AM

I have an FTP server with 40,000 files and a couple thousand directories. I have a local copy of this that I maintain and change periodically. Can FlashFXP (or any other program) sync this for me quickly? I believe I'm going to need something that'll keep a local cache of what is located on the server. Other programs (BitBeamer, WS_FTP) have a sync option, but it goes through EVERY directory and lists the contents. This will take forever every time it's done, I only change 5% of the files each time.
If I can't find it here, tommorow I'm going to start coding it myself. =)
