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.
