Download new files automactily

[killerdude]

I'm Useing FlashFXP v 3.4, build 1145, Trail Version, Windows XP
Is there a way to get FlashFXP to connect to a FTP Server every hour to download the new files that have been added to that FTP within that hour? The FTP that I get stuff from adds new files every few minutes and it takes alot of time for me to transfer them manual.. If anyone can help me with this please do, and please explain it since im a newbie here lol... Thanks in advance

queue up a folder that will have those files, save that queue and then create a schedule task that would start flashfxp from a command line loading that queue file and execute transfer.

[killerdude]

okk I understad queue up the folder but how do I setup the schedule task that would start flashfxp from a command line loading that queue file and execute transfer.

[MxxCon]

use windows builtin scheduler(start, programs, accessories, system tools, scheduled tasks)
flashfxp's help file has a section for command line parameters

Well I cant seem to get this to work.. i'm a newbie here and I dont really understand how to do this or if it can be done... Is there any other program out there that will do this.. I like FlashFXP and want to purchase it but I need it to be able to do this for me before I will buy it... So if this is possible please explain it a little better.. Thanks

[MxxCon]

which exact part don't you understand?

[killerdude]

all of it really.. I cant get it to work Can u explain a little better

[MxxCon]

do you understand how to queue up directories?
do you understand how to save queue?
do you understand how to create tasks in windows scheduler?

[killerdude]

I understand how to queue and save it.. But how do I get windows to automactily connect and transfer the new files once per hour?

[MxxCon]

add windows scheduler task with desired settings. run command should be
"drive:\pathto\FLASHFXP.EXE yourqueue.fqf -go -c2 -tray"
you can find explanation of these and other switches in FlashFXP's help file, under "Advanced" section.

Is it possible to just get the new files?
Cause now, it works like this for me:

First time I'll transferred the whole dir from server A to B.

After this, flashfxp connects every 20-minutes, and transfer all the files from A to B.
Files that is already on server B, is beeing auto-skipped. But, the problem
is that it require that all old files that are on server A is on B too. If not, it's of course starts to transfer this files again, I'm in no need for those files..

Is it possible to solve this in a proper way?

FlashFXP doesn't keep track of which files are old and because of this it doesn't know which ones are new.

This situation is outside the standard functionality of FlashFXP, you would need a custom program that could generate FlashFXP queues based on which files are new and then using that queue transfer the files with FlashFXP.
