Auto FTP Manager: What's New?

What's New in Auto FTP Manager 4.1?

  • Advanced Filtering:  Auto FTP Manager can transfer files and folders based on filtering rules using wildcard matching, file types, modification dates, and file sizes.
  • Mail Transfer Log:  Now you can have the program email a copy of all transfer logs to a specified address. 
  • Precise File and Folder Selection:  You can select folders, subfolders, and even individual files for automated transfer.
  • Improved Interface:  The appearance of program icons and the layout of toolbar buttons have been upgraded.

What's New in Auto FTP Manager 4.0?

  • Command Line Interface:  You can start Auto FTP Manager and run any Automated Transfer Profile from the Windows command prompt.  This makes it easy to use Auto FTP Manager from a script.
  • File Transfer Queue:  The Quick Connect File Manager now lets you add files and folders from different locations to a single transfer queue.  You can select multiple files and folders from different folders, even different drives, and then transfer them with a single operation, instead of having to transfer each file individually, one at a time.
  • Easy Navigation between Folders:  Navigating from folder to another, on your computer/network or within the FTP folder is easier thanks to the new dropdown list in the File Manager.  Click on any local/network drive to see and work with the folders in it.  You can also type in the path directly.  Your navigation history is saved for future use.
  • Wild Card Matching:  Auto FTP Manager can determine whether to transfer a file by matching its name to patterns that use the standard Windows wild cards.  For instance, "mov*.wm*" would match "movie23.wmv".
  • Automated Deletion:  Auto FTP Manager can now delete files from the destination folder of an Automated Transfer Profile, if they are not present in the source (or vice versa).

What's New in Auto FTP Manager 3.6?

  • Changing Attributes: You can assign the access rights you want to grant to different categories of users for files and folders on any UNIX Server.  This way, you can exercise a control over the read, write and execute permissions given to people.
  • Exporting and Importing Files: All profiles can now be exported and saved in a folder of your choice.  You can bring them back to the application by using the import feature.  All profiles from the previous version automatically get imported to the latest version.
  • Comparing Files and Folders: You do not need to track each file that has been renamed, changed in file size or is present in one of the folders but does not exist in the other.  The compare button highlights files and folders that are different in Folder 1 and Folder 2.  The arrow buttons transfer these to the other folder.

What's New in Auto FTP Manager 3.5?

  • Enhanced Profile Wizard: Auto FTP manager's enhanced profile wizard has an include/exclude list, along with filters which can be specified for a specific file type like .WMV, etc.  The New Profile Wizard also provides you with a Profile Scheduler which can schedule  your Automated transfers.  It gives you a range of settings to choose from to activate a transfer on the desired month, week, day and time.  Now planning file transfers is just a matter of few mouse clicks with Auto FTP manager.
  • Action Rules and Conflict Resolution: Auto FTP manager allows you to customize Automated Transfer by applying easy to understand Action Rules.  If a file is in both Folder 1 and Folder 2, the software now resolves the situation by following conflict resolution options you specify.  Overwriting with newer files, renaming, and replacing files are some of the conflict resolution alternatives available.
  • File Transfer Log: Auto FTP Manager now lets you save HTML transfer logs for all Automated Transfers.  You can view a history of what files were uploaded, downloaded, deleted, etc.
  • Local to Local Transfer:  Along with the transfers between Local and FTP folders, version 3.5 lets you transfer between 2 local folders.
  • Importing Profiles: This feature imports all your Quick Connect Profiles from previous versions of Auto FTP Manager.  You don't need to create them again.
  • Recording Profiles: The actions you perform while working with any Automated or Quick Connect Profile can be recorded.  A new Automated Profile containing these actions is created when the recording ends.  You can then schedule the recorded profile, and add other actions you want it to perform.
  • Advanced Filters: Auto FTP Manager can include or exclude files during automated transfer based on filters set by you.  Now you can specify the modification date and file size, apart from the file type filter, on basis of which files should considered or ignored.

  • Duplicate Profiles: Easily duplicate and create new Automation and Quick Connect Profiles by changing only the desired properties.
  • Convert Quick Connect Profiles: Convert any Quick Connect Profile to an Automation Profile and immediately start synchronizing folders.

What's New in Auto FTP Manager 2.0?

  • Profile Names: A profile name is required when creating a new profile.  An existing profile can also be renamed from the Profiles List.
  • Linked Folder Support: Linked folders can now be downloaded from a UNIX based FTP server.
  • Retry Transfer: If file transfer fails in the File Manager then the transfer can be re-tried from the Error Log.
  • Automatic Navigation: With this feature switched on, opening a local folder automatically opens up the corresponding remote folder in File Manager.
  • Include List: This feature lets you specify files that must be included during synchronization.  All other files are ignored.
  • Time Zone Difference: Date and time of files are retained when they are transferred between your PC and the FTP server even when your PC and FTP server are present in different time zones.
  • Time Based Synchronization: Synchronization can now be carried out for newer files only.  Two new action rules lets you select rules when remote files are newer or older than the one present on your PC.
  • Keep Alive Customization: Older versions of Auto FTP Manager sent a dummy command to the FTP server at regular intervals when no transfers were being carried out.  This was required to keep the connection with the FTP server from timing out and closing down.  You can now specify the interval and the command to send to the FTP server so that the connection is kept alive.

What's New in Auto FTP Manager 1.8?

  • Support for Netware and MS-DOS FTP servers: Auto FTP Manager now supports FTP servers of the Netware and MS-DOS types.  Thus, now it is possible to conduct data transfers between the local host machine and the remote FTP servers of Netware and MS-DOS types.

What's New in Auto FTP Manager 1.5?

  • Multiple File Managers: You can open multiple file managers for different profiles at the same time.  Thus, now it is possible to navigate through multiple remote FTP servers and  carry out simultaneous data transfers for different profiles.  This advanced feature provides you the facility to conduct simultaneous data transfers without having to open multiple instances of an application.
  • Unrestricted Data Transfer to any local folder in the File Manager: In this version, it is possible to navigate through any of the local folders without any restrictions irrespective of the what local folder has been specified in the profile for synchronization.  This helps to transfer files or folders from any local folder to the remote FTP server.  You can also download remote files and folders to any local folder.
  • Resumption of Data Transfer in File Manager: You can resume broken transfers in the File Manager.  You can either select the files to overwrite or resume their transfer if the files are already present.  This feature eliminates the need to completely repeat the process of transfer of files when the original transfer is broken.
  • Sorting in File Manager: File Manager simplifies your task of finding the files and folders to be transferred by providing the sorting facility.  You can sort the files and folders according to various criteria like file name, size, last modification time and their attributes.
