Editor's review
This is a FTP solution.
InstantSync is meant for webmasters and network professionals. The solution is for the situations when they need a desktop tool for file synchronization, copying, moving, mirroring, replication, and backups of files over the FTP. This tool makes file sync quite easy. This tool transfers only new and changed files making syncs nearly instantaneous. Thus this tool is very valuable for web site updates, web server mirroring, script development and updates, log file downloads, ecommerce product updates and web server backup. File transfer related functionalities available include transfer files over FTP protocol, bi-directional file synchronization, and unidirectional file synchronization, file moves, file move & archive source file to other folder, file copy, etc. The features that help accelerate the transfers include multithreaded transfers, transfer speed limiter, on-the-fly file compression, IPv6 support and UTF-8 support, etc. You will be able to monitor transfer history for all sync tasks, transfer of result verification, extensive logging with auto-rotate schemes, log transfer results to Windows Event Log, etc.
This tool is easy to use; the controls are quite intuitive. Some features that help the ease of use further include a task Editor for task editing & sync preview, a task wizard helping creation of new tasks and a task optimizer helps faster transfers. The bi-directional file sync helps keep two folders perfectly in sync; files can be modified on both sides. The file date stamps are used for comparison. InstantSync will adjust server file dates using server time-zone settings for proper time comparisons. Propagated deletions allow you to create true bi-directional syncs. When enabled, the software tracks deletions on both sides, and repeats the deletion made on one side on the other side. This handy tool is very good.
