ftpsync

Command-line tool to smart-synchronizing local directory with remote FTP.

Simple and elegant, written in Python3 without 3rd-party dependencies.

Usage:

ftpsync user:[email protected]/remote/directory/

Args:

-c '...': run raw ftp command instead of sync (use ; for multiple commands)

--delete: delete non-existing files on server side

Ignored files:

Put .ftpignore file in the source directory.

Example content:

ignored_file_name.ext
ignored_directory_name
also_you_can_use_*_wildcard
# this_file_will_not_be_ignored.txt

use hash # for comments

Meta files:

.ftpsync is automatically created in every ftp directory with metadata syncing info

Have to sync hundreds of sites?

You can create .csv file and simple bash script:

#!/bin/bash

while IFS=, read -r user pass host remotedir
do
    ftpsync $user:$pass@$host/$remotedir --delete
done < servers.csv

Example contents of servers.csv:

john,p4ssw0rd,ftp.host.com,/public_html/sites/johnsite
jack,p4ssw0rd2,ftp.host2.com,/public_html/sites/jacksite
