I am a very non-technical [ :huh: ] user of SmartFTP but enjoy using it for a couple of websites for clubs. These sites were created in MS Publisher [kinda-sorta WYSIWYG... wouldn't know HTML if it bit me] and have grown to include almost 300 images and about 50 web pages each...
MS Publisher does not have a file naming convention that I can seem to understand, so when I make a change or addition to these sites, I cannot locate the changed or new files and have to reload virtually everything... always the "index" file and "index files" folders... and this takes a lot of time. Some of the files are big and I get time-outs every now and then too...
I expect that there is a way to have SmartFTP compare the files to be uploaded to the ones already uploaded and then set the software to upload only new or changed files... and that's what I am trying to find...
I've searched the forum before writing this and could not find an answer... it may be that my search terms are too layman-like and I just don't know enough to understand some of the comments about vaious 'rules' and such.
Anyway, if someone could shed a little light on this for me, I would very much appreciate the help.
Thanks!
