dawei - thanks but i was hoping for something cheaper

Sane - the way i wanted it to work was like this

The application was on a pc and i want to upload folder d:\docs to my ftp which is a server on the internet.

DaWei

I'm not sure what world YOU live in, but in my world the cost of development is amortized over the number of products sold, or some initial quantity of the products sold. This makes one-offs expensive, of course. In this environment you MAY find a novice willing to do it for the experience, or perhaps for as little as they could make at the local fast-food joint in the same period of time.

Sane

Ahh, so the folder is not on the server.

To be honest, I'd actually be a perfect candidate to do this. Since I've programmed an FTP server, I understand how 3-digit command codes work and what would be involved in accessing an ftp server remotely. However, my time is limited and my priorities elsewhere. What pay are you offering and when do you need it?

Edit:

To give you an idea of what's involved for me...
- Simple graphic user-interface using the win32api inlcluding a dialog box, progress bar, and text fields
- Socket connections to connect with the ftp server
- Authenticating to the ftp server on the basis of a username/password field (as part of the GUI)
- Synchronizing a passive/active file transfer environment with the correct 3-digit command codes and reactions to the server's responses
- Transferring all the files

Basically...

Ooble

Sounds easy enough, though time-consuming. I'll do it for a tenth of DaWei's price.

why not just have an interface for the users to drop their files in a specific directory on their local system, then have a scheduled task to SCP the files over to your server in a backup directory on a certain time interval... ultra easy.

Break out the white shoes and belts! Too warm for plaid jackets.
