I want to sync some file from server A to server B by ftp. If there are any change in A, the change can be made to B.
I have create a task,
In Actions, "FTP Log On","FTP Synchronization","FTP Log off" are added, and in "FTP Synchronization" section, Local folder is D:\myweb\web\abc.com, Synchronization mode is Local -> Remote, Include subfolders and Exact copy are marked.
In Triggering Events, I have add "File Monitor" event, and Folders is same -- D:\myweb\web\abc.com, all of Filter condition are marked.
There are many folders and files in D:\myweb\web\abc.com, just like:
folder a -- some html files, folder aa in a -- some xml files;
folder p -- some jpg/png files;
folder d -- some zip/rar files for download.
After Run the task, ONLY folder a and all file in it had been transfered, folder p and fold d are NOT been transfered and p/d are NOT been CREATED in B.
What's the metter?

Can you send your task to me (oleg (at) robotask.com)?

You must do synchronization between servers only via local folder.

Algorithm is such:
connect to server a
synk remote -> local
disconnect
connect to server b
synk local -> remote

I've send the task file to your email. And I do not understand your algorithm, Shell I need another PC to run robotask? BTW, 1.The robotask has been installed in Server A. 2.If I change the folder define from D:\myweb\web\abc.com into D:\myweb\web of "FTP Synchronization" and "File Monitor", all of the file and folder can be transfer !

I've send the task file to your email.

I'm sorry but I haven't received any messages from you via email.

The robotask has been installed in Server A....

Probably I haven't understood you. You didn't tell that RoboTask works on Server A.

I understand your task so:

You have the folder on server A D:\myweb\web\abc.com
This folder contains a few subfolders

You want to synchronize this folder with server B in case the files in folder will be changed

In this case you have to create the task wich syncronize the folder D:\myweb\web\abc.com with remote FTP Server

Open FTP
Syncshronize D:\myweb\web\abc.com -> remote folder (with subfolders)

Next you have to attach "File monitor" triggering event to this task. "File monitor" must monitor "D:\myweb\web\abc.com" folder with subfolders

That's all. This must work
