Z-FTPcopy II

File sharing over the Internet is a common thing now and it’s hard to imagine having to copy files on drives with limited space, move to another computer, and deploy those files. Nonetheless, cloud services and dedicated servers easily connect through an Internet access point, and Z-FTPcopy II can be used to easily communicate with your FTP server.

With little time spent going through the setup process, you quickly get to take a look at the set of features. Running it brings up a compact main window that manages to put everything you work with in plain sight, and in an organized manner. A couple of tabs let you quickly switch between options and functions.

Needless to say that you have to connect to the FTP server in order for file transfer to be possible. In this regard, you only need to write down the server IP address, port, the protocol you’re using, as well as the credentials with which to gain access.

Next up come the files you want to move around. There are four choices found in a drop-down menu, such as folder, file, file mask, or file list. A browse dialog lets you select files or folders of interest, with the possibility to also pick from a remote computer, as well as to exclude some file types.

A few more options can be attributed, such as to move the files completely to the FTP server, or use incremental upload. Paying a visit to the Setup tab also gives you the possibility to funnel all file transfers through a proxy connection, enable debug logging to a custom location, and set timeout, keep alive, and resume upload values.

The only thing missing here is a built-in scheduler so you don’t have to worry about uploading files on a fixed time period. However, you have the options to create desktop shortcuts that initiate upload and download sessions, and even save multiple profile types.

You can transfer just about anything anywhere through the Internet. But some operations can take a lot of time or effort, and Z-FTPcopy II wraps everything you need in a simple interface, so that upload or download sessions to and from a FTP server are done in the blink of an eye.
