Synchronize with FTP/WebDAV (Windows)

FreeFileSync does not support accessing FTP volumes directly. But this functionality can be integrated by mapping the FTP web space to a drive letter:


Example: Use the free utility NetDrive (http://www.netdrive.net)

Note
Most FTP drives set a file's time stamp to the current time when synchronizing ignoring the source file's time and date. As a workaround you can do a Compare by File Size.




Synchronize with SFTP (Linux)


An SFTP share can be easily mapped onto a local folder for use with FreeFileSync:

  • Install:
    sudo apt-get install sshfs
     

  • Mount SFTP share:
    sshfs ssh-account@ssh-server:<path> mountpoint
     

  • Unmount:
    fusermount -u mountpoint
