Well, no not quite the same, but as near as damn it. 

Mind you I have always cursed Windows for not having a decent scripting language - I don't consider batch script or Powershell as 'decent'.

Hi Mark,

You might want to take a look at SyncBack (you're probably looking at the Pro version IMHO): http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/sbpro.html. Although I've never used it myself, I heard good thing about it several times in the past.

It Includes the features you are looking for, including FTP & SFTP support and compression of files as they are synced. There are also a number of scripts that can be used to enhance the product (http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/scripts/index.html) which don't look particularly hard to engineer if you need something custom (i.e. deleting of files once synced). Beware though, scripts are written in Visual Basic. Sigh.


Just looked at the last link, and it says scripts are typically written in vbscript.  VBScript is not the same as Visual Basic, well not quite the same anyway.


And why the sigh.  BASIC ROX! :-)
BASIC FTW!

Steve
