Frag FTP Updater


Design Purpose:

I'm sure all different types of programmers(or anyone else) can understand how annoying, however minute, the time it takes to upload your files to a FTP after every change or during an extensive test run.

This was designed to make that above process easy, or backups and constant updating to FTP streamlined and flawless.


Feature Explanation:

Before I continue, these features are designed for what I personally believe would be useful. If you feel that something should be included or tweaked, let me know.

-A multitude of options for background uploading without user intervention to uploading at set intervals.

-Advanced comparisons to ensure any overwrite is with the newest copy.

-And many more


Application Status:

Development Progress: Wrapping up the prototype for Alpha release

Estimated Alpha progression: Tomorrow

License: Freeware/OpenSource

Platforms: Windows

Language: VB.NET

Libraries in use: edtftp


Early Version Photos:
Main Form
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Directory Settings

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]



Feature Timeline/Release expectation:

-FTP Connection
-Project/Profile set up
-XML writing
-XML Reading
-Directory Scanning Methodology

Alpha Estimated 12/17/14

-Add port field for server settings
-Upload Settings start

If you have any ideas, let me know below. It'd be extremely helpful. No matter how idiotic they seem, it may actually give me an idea!

Hey there,

I'm interested due to being a developer myself, When will the Source or "FreeSource" files be released, i'd love to take a look at this, I know it's not something for everyone but I'd love just to take a look and prehapse to make tutorials on how it all function.

Hence; Is this C##, JavaScript or Python because i've seen this done in Python before.

Thanks, hope for a reply soon .

I'm building it completely in VB.NET. However, if you wanted it in C# I could possibly convert it. However, the FTP connection is entirely used from a FTP library. This makes it easier on me, since VB and C# seems to have issues with certain FTP combinations. The library completely did away with the problem.

I'm pretty much fluent in VB and don't have the time to learn anything else

There's something similar like this I use on Sublime Text 3. It's with the SFTP configuration. You can set it to upload on save, so once you save it'll upload.

But this is a great idea and I love these type of apps! Would love to see the 'spice' you add to it!

Would it be possible to keep the file as a background process so that you could send the update out with a message and the users will get a message box prompt almost instantly when you upload the newer version?

No shit..I need to dig around on Sublime, I couldn't find anything like that lol.

I actually used a couple other 'IDE' type HTML editors, none of them uploaded to the correct directory, they always uploaded to root.

If I understood you correctly, that's the goal.
To different methods:

1-
User saves file. File gets uploaded. Prompt appears to let the user know it was uploaded.

2-
User saves file. File gets checked, prompts user IF they want to upload it. No prompt appears, unless an error occurs.

If you have another suggestion let me know.

I have picked this up for completion and I will expect a full stable release (1.0.0) to be released hopefully by 2015.

The release progression is,
Alpha
-Bug Fixes
Beta
-Bug Fixes
Delta Release (Advanced unfinished stage)
-Bug Fixes
Full release (100% stable, all big features finished)

I'm looking forward to the release on this, it'll be a fun project for me to try and convert it to C#!

Anyway, it's looking good at the moment, I like the flat theme!
