Im looking to invest in a new FTP program and am looking for recommendations
The one I use is really basic and can be quite arkward to use.
Im looking for one that I can set up to update files automatically when required
Specifically I have one website which has a java array file in it which is sitting in about 30 different folders. and rather than manually having to upload it to each file everytime there is a change i want to be able to set it to update every copy of the array file automatically.
Anyone have any great recommendations - apart from Cute FTP (which i loathe with a vengance) or WS-FTP which i have found to be too basic for my needs.
If you still run Win 95/98/XP, then the best method is actually to run an ftp script file from the [DOS] command prompt. Extremely fast (way faster than you can ever do by typing or using a mouse) and set it to do all the work for you.
Example one I use to update my http://www.expita.com/nomime.html document
open ftp.expita.com [my userid here] [my password here] cd public_html put nomime.html nomime.html close quit

In addition, you get to learn all the ftp commands :>) Easiest way is just to open up an ftp session at the command line prompt:
C:\WINDOWS> ftp ftp> help Commands may be abbreviated. Commands are:
! delete literal prompt send ? debug ls put status append dir mdelete pwd trace ascii disconnect mdir quit type bell get mget quote user binary glob mkdir recv verbose bye hash mls remotehelp cd help mput rename close lcd open rmdir ftp> quit
For more details on an ftp command, use help [command name] while in the ftp session.
