Compare and synchronize files and folders

In the late 1990s the world saw a skyrocketing development of the Internet. What once began as a network for government officials and scientists, has now become a huge global network which united millions of users from all over the world.

With the development of the Internet data exchange and data update became very important. Information is being changed very rapidly. Moreover, people working in the IT sphere have to follow all those changes.

Let’s talk about FTP which emerged long before HTTP. It used to be quite popular and now often used in local network and remote hosts. Everyone who has ever managed contents of a FTP server knows how difficult it can be to update information there.

For this purpose you can use a new solution from AKS-LABS – Compare Suite. This file compare software is also known as a powerful data synchronization tool. The entire process of FTP folder synchronization takes very little time, depending on volumes of information to be compared and synchronized.

Make sure you type all information correctly in order to synchronize FTP folder

Why would anyone want to synchronize data with FTP folder? Imagine you downloaded all FTP folders to your PC and introduced some amendments. Instead of copying all data back to FTP server you can run Compare Suite and synchronize the two folders.

Besides, if two FTP servers are to be synchronized there is not necessity of copying data to computers, amending them and then uploading back to FTP servers. Sure, if it is one small ftp server which you manage alone there is not big problem here. But what if there are several administrators of numerous ftp servers? Why replace identical files and lose time? This is where synchronization of FTP folders can help.

In order to perform synchronization of FTP folders in Compare Suite you will have to choose “Open from FTP” box and select a folder (left or right). Having done that, you will be asked to enter ftp address, port, logic and password. Make sure you type all the information correctly otherwise Compare Suite will not be able to connect to the ftp server.

When Compare Suite connects to the ftp server it will offer you synchronization options and ask if you want the software to prompt for actions. You can choose synchronization directions and synchronization types (for example, newer filers substitute older files).

Using Compare Suite to synchronize ftp folders you will save your time and facilitate data exchange between users and administrators of ftp servers.
