Title: Auto FTP Upload
Post by: steviebaby59 on September 15, 2021, 10:34:43 AM

Dose anyone know of a good auto FTP upload service for cheap? I had a service through an Auto FTP Deskshare company. My hard drive in my PC went bad recently. I had to install their program all over. When I used the serial number they gave me from a few years ago, I got a message it was invalid. I sent them several emails, but they don't respond. I tried calling them today only to find out their number is no longer in service.

I use a paid version of Fling https://www.nchsoftware.com/fling/index.html (https://www.nchsoftware.com/fling/index.html)
I think this software is just great, have never had an issue with the performance.

You can actually use WINSCP for free.  You basically login with WINSCP, have it generate a script (TXT) file for you for what you are uploading.  Then create a scheduled task to run WINSCP how often you need the upload.  That's what I did recently.

You could use Python's ftplib for free.

Examples:
