1. Introduction

kftpupdater will transfer (recursively) the contents of a local directory to a directory on a remote ftp server or vice versa. It only transfers files that have been modified according to its time stamps database. (Usually this means since the last run.)

kftpupdater will log a record of file transfers for each project in $HOME/update.project-name.log (Although it is possible to specify an alternate log file.)

As options kftpupdater can ignore files matching a regular expression and delete files and directories in the target directory which don't occur in the source directory.

Options for each project are stored in the kftpupdater configuration file $HOME/update.config. (It is possible to specify an alternative configuration file.) This file is normally edited using the kftpupdater GUI but you can also edit it directly.
