I you can use SSH instead of unsecure FTP then use WinSCP - it can do batch 
jobs (quite a few commands and config options) and sync/trickle
changes in ways similar to rsync

 - schedule via the Windows Task scheduler and as a svchost process.

Subject: [phpug] Command Line FTP from windows

I have a site which gets files transferred from an in-house application 
using a batch file and the windows built-in command line FTP several 
times a day.  At least in theory it does, but for days on end this 
process can fail. The connection seems to be failing

I was wondering if someone can recommend an ftp client which can be run 
unattended, initiated from a batch file in a windows environment, and is 
sensible enough to retry if it loses the connection part way through.  A 
choice of active and passive may help as well.

The PC support people are blaming the web host, and the webhost says 
there is nothing funny there.  The problems may have started to occur 
when the  server at the host failed, and the site was moved to another 
server.  The hosting firm say that with the exception of php and apache 
which were differently configured that everything else is the same on 
the new server.
