CarbonFTP

There are now various methods of sharing and storing data, especially because of online methods and services. For instance, multiple individuals can rely on FTP servers to store and grab bits of important data. As such, CarbonFTP comes with the means to help you communicate with a FTP server and easily synchronize data.

Wizard-driven sync setup

Setup takes only a little while, and you’re offered to have the application launched as soon as the last step of the installer closes. Accommodation is a walk in the park, and this is all thanks to the intuitive, step-by-step operation. By the end of it, you either have a configured process to run whenever needed, or an action to start right away.
There are about seven steps to go through, each of them being fitted with clear descriptions and intuitive fields to fill in. You first need to provide the host details, such as server address, port, authentication credentials, and whether or not to connect in passive mode.

Configure connection and file filters

Connection is established either directly, or via a proxy server, which can either be FTP or SOCKS, with corresponding detail fields. Synchronization options are set up right after you’re done with the host. It’s a good idea to make sure your Internet connection is up and running, and all items of interest are in a custom location.
Synchronization with the target FTP server can either be one way, either to or from the remote server, or mirrored. Additional options let you include subfolders, and perform an exact copy operation. More than that, it’s possible to set up filters to either include or exclude file extensions and names from the process.

In conclusion

Bottom line is that FTP servers are a practical method of storing and sharing data, especially in an organized work group. As such, CarbonFTP makes it quite easy to set up data upload or download operations with a FTP server of choice, guiding you through several, intuitive steps.
