  • Monitor remote password-protected directory

Hello guys,

I am looking for a download manager that can monitor a password protected directory ( folder ) and download the content automatically.

OR

a command line ftp tool that can download/upload files to a specified location, akid it would take username/pass
I will be automating the process by sending the parameters to this tool via a software, that is y i need it to be a command line tool.
It would be nice if this tool has resume upload/download options, since you know how reliable internet connection can be in lebanon.

so guys any hints ?

-- I know i can google, but with those type of tools the personal experience comes in handy.
cuz in marketing sheets and on websites each software tool is theorically nbre 1 and the best, so i would appreciate if you can suggest something you find bit reliable for me :)
thanks in advance

-- samer can you edit the titles of posts ? if so it would be nice to change the title to something more meaningful, 10x
If you're keen on using command line, you can try sftp
thanks xterm :)
I will check it

well i am comfy with command line tools , i can use the built in windows ftp tool
i don't think there is a lack of command line tools, i just need to pick something :P
rsync for linux only ?
nice tool and the related items is interesting, thanks samer :)
it seems there is a win32 port for rsync

http://sourceforge.net/projects/rsyncwin32/

its alpha tho. there maybe a more stable win32 port but requiring cygwin.

Anyway take a look at winscp

http://winscp.net/eng/docs/commandline

It has command line mode, is open source, has resume support, and supports FTP. I dont know if resume works with FTP though, or only with the other protocols it supports, and I dont know if you can see progress from the command line. Worth a try i guess.

For monitoring the folder (if you cant do it with winscp), you can use the windows command line FTP client to list the contents at a defined interval.
Here is an example of how to automate it

For the FTP server... you can use FileZilla Server.
