Auto FTP Upload

General Discussion

I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a Windows or Linux software that will schedule uploading via FTP.

I am wanting to automate the daily updating of a podcast RSS feed for when I am out of town.

Thanks in advance for any help you are able to offer.

A couple thoughts

There are a few things you can do. If you are using drupal check out the scheduler module. I use that on a bunch of sites to create content in advance and have my hosts cron send it live.

If you are looking for scheduling check out cron on macs and linux. The system has a built in scheduling service you can take advantage of.

If you are on windows there is a scheduling service and a number of free programs that let you build actions around them.

I always use a mac/linux/bsd/unix cron setup to do my scheduled actions.

Thank you.

I will take a look at the Linux options as that computer in my home is nearly always on, even when I am out of town. That was the OS I was hoping I could find something in anyway.
