Automated / Scheduled FTP software?

Look into using the terminal crontab and ftp commands. You can write a shell script to FTP files at certain intervals

I need to backup a customers web directory to our local machine via FTP each day and wanted it to happen automatically.

Anyone got any suggestions for FTP software they use that will let me do this?

I use DW and Cyberduck but neither seems to offer this option.

Thanks in advance

the "at" command or a manual crontab entry will schedule any command to run at intervals you specify. Read the "at" man page. It explains how to set this up.

But notice the the man page will tell you that "at" is normally disabled on Mac OS X to conserve power and let the machine go into sleep mode. I assume you are not running this on a notebook so you can just follow the man page's instructions.

Yummy FTP has some great scheduling features.
