| 1359985 | 2013-11-16 19:32:00 | Hi all, I'm looking for some kind of software (for Mac...) that works similar to something like Dropbox - watches a folder and when a new file is added it's automatically uploaded to a specified folder on my website. Website is running Joomla (3.11), so could be a Joomla app or ftp or something else if it's available. Any suggestions? Cheers, Mike. |

(30.6MB)Thanks wainuitech, not quite what I meant. I need something that will upload to a webserver, either through a Joomla plugin or via FTP. Dropbox doesn't do this unfortunately :( Dropbox watches a folder and loads new files into your dropbox account, so I want something that works similar to that, but uploads into an ftp instead of the Dropbox account. Cheers, Mike. |

| 1359990 | 2013-11-17 02:03:00 | Do you have ssh access? (for rsync with an inotifywait trigger on the folder) | fred_fish (15241) | ||
| 1359991 | 2013-11-17 04:19:00 | +1 for rsync | Cato (6936) | ||
| 1359992 | 2013-11-17 04:22:00 | can you please elaborate? Cheers, Mike. |

| 1359993 | 2013-11-17 05:22:00 | Basically, you can use inotifywait or in Apple's case fswatch (github.com) will see a change in a directory and execute a script. In this case rsync (developer.apple.com) to sync local and remote files. This should give you an idea: blog.daanraman.com |
