Thanks for the pointer, Volker. Meanwhile I have installed sitecopy and run some short tests, including moving and deleting files on the local machine. sitecopy has dealt with them quickly and accurately. There are several good reasons to use sitecopy: - it is compact, - the man page is very straightforward and gets you started quickly, - it runs from the command line, and it works fine on old hardware, - it should be really easy to run it as a cron job (try that with Quanta) - it does exactly what is required for maintaining a small to medium size Internet site. > If you're lucky, you could perhaps persuade the upload functions of > mozilla composer, or quanta, to do this. I have tried that some time ago, but with not much luck. I also find these two a bit unwieldy just for the syncing aspect. Many of my files are created with The GIMP, and album. Using one of these huge HTML IDEs seems to be overkill for uploading some files. > If anyone else has some other/better solutions I'd like to know too. Sorry, not currently. But sitecopy seems to be all right. Ah, I forgot to mention, I am uploading to the orcon.net.nz server, and I have ftp-0.17-120.
