I have a folder with upwards of a 1000 files - i update 30-40 of these daily
& keep them on ftp folder at home and in a local folder at work - i dont
want to back up the whole lot every day & i have trouble remembering which
ones i've changed

I need a script to synchronise a local folder with an ftp folder

It should search both folders and compare files & sub folders - where a file
(or folder) has different last update stamp, copy later version over the
earlier version

Ideally delete any files/folder not common to both

I'm not a scriptor but if you are, you may already have such a thing - if
not, if you can point me towards some links i'll have a go myself & i'll
share my results

thanx
