Imagine that you are working on a very important project and you want to keep a backup of all your files and folders, so that in case a hard disk problem occurs, you will be able to recover the files. Windows doesn't offer a tool for this purpose, but fortunately, there are numerous applications on the market which offer backup functionality. One such application is WatchFTP.
The FTP part of the program's name refers to the fact that it allows you to synchronize files between your computer and any FTP server, in both ways, so that you will always have the same data in both parts. After the application has been installed and launched, the user first needs to define a new task. For this, he will need to enter the FTP server details, like the address, username and password and also set the hard disk folder that should be synchronized with the FTP server.
One can also set some filters, to allow only certain file types to be synchronized and can also schedule the sync process to run at a certain hour and in a certain day. Several tasks can be defined in the program's interface and WatchFTP can show real-time information for each of them.
Pros
It allows you to synchronize files between any FTP server and hard disk location. Besides that, several tasks can be defined. Furthermore, the user can set various filters, to allow only certain file types to be synchronized. What's more, tasks can be scheduled to perform at certain hours or week days.
Cons
The options section of the application is a bit difficult to understand, due to the large number of available features. WatchFTP allows you to sync files between any FTP location and hard disk folder, using an intuitive interface and a large number of options.
