How to sync files to a ftp server with the use of ftpsync on FreeBSD

Posted by mariusvw

In the ports of FreeBSD I found a nice tool to sync a local directory to a remote FTP server.

First install ftpsync:

cd /usr/ports/ftp/ftpsync
make install clean

Next create a config file to configure ftpsync for synchronization:

localdir=/home/mariusvw/backups
ftpserver=rstore.kitara.nl
ftpdir=/
ftpuser=username
ftppasswd=password

Next you have two options for syncing...

Get-sync from server:

ftpsync.pl -g cfg=financenetwerk_eu-v1.cfg

Put-sync to server:

ftpsync.pl -n cfg=financenetwerk_eu-v1.cfg

You can add the -p flag to not-prune directories on the target.

I don't use this program anymore for syncing but I can tell you, it works great if you want to easy upload a website to a live server.
