    I need to perform a scheduled copy, compression and ftp transfer of a file.

    I can do this manually using SmartFTP client and I can schedule the transfer with SmartFTP but I don't know of a way to do this regularly without human action.

    Any ideas?

    This is a real popular prgram:

    SyncBack is a flexible, and quite powerful backup and synchronization program that allows to to maintain backup copies of your files and folder, or to synchronize them, so that both locations always have a complete copy (e.g Laptop/PC). It offers different types of actions that let you choose how older and newer files are processed, which files should be excluded (by mask) and more. It offers standard file comparison based on the date and size, as well as optional MD5 checksum, which will detect even the slightest modifications to files. SyncBack also supports scheduled projects, FTP and zip compression of backups, as well as network login, simulation runs and more.

    SynchBack works great

    Steve,

    Thanks for the lead. Looks like SynchBack will do exactly what I need. It was a bit tricky to get started but it works fine now.

    Thanks
