Version 0.9.0 of my upstreamer is released.
Download the MSI installer here. The source is available here. The license for both is a zlib type license. You can read it here.
Notes about the release:
- FTPUpstreamer is a utility to upload a local directory to a remote directory on an FTP server. It keeps track of the files that have been uploaded already and the last changed time on those files.
- This is a beta release. Don't expect too much. I've only really tested this against one server (W2k3, I think). I've only tested the client on XP Pro.
- There is no support for listing or deleting files on the server. If you want to do more sophisticated stuff you might want to check out a more fully featured FTP program. I've used SmartFTP and it has worked well for me.
- There is no support for automatic uploading yet. You have to hit the button. At some point I'll have it automatically scan for changes. I'll also make it minimize to a tray icon. I figured getting something out early is best.
- The program requires the .Net framework v1.0. You can get this from Windows Update.
- Your FTP password is stored in plain text. The config file is something like "c:\Documents and Settings\Joe\Local Settings\Application Data\FTPUploadConfig.xml". I don't think the uninstaller removes this. There are some other data files in the same directory that will also not be removed. Buyer beware.
If you have any problems go ahead and write me email at FTPUpstreamer at BedaFamily.com. If I'm not super responsive (I have a day job) you can always update the source yourself. If you send me deltas I'll try to integrate them. At some point I may put the source under some sort of project management like GotDotNet workspaces or Sourceforge.
