Auto-synchronize FTP folders with HD folders?
brotherS:
Hi,
is there a (free?) tool to auto-synchronize FTP folders with folders on my HD? So that I can set it to "synchronize D:\random stuff\ with [FTP URL]/some stuff in here/" every 24 hours?
Also, which newbie-friendly (free?) FTP tools do you recommend? I haven't used FTP in years...

I have been using AlFTP (from Renegades AlTools site). It has a few roigh edges but it seems to work pretty well.
I have also tried using FTPGenius (part of the ZipGenius pack) but can't work out why it won't connect to some site???
A good workhorse (not free) is WS_FTP from www.ipswitch.com

might also be worth a try:
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

I use SyncBack.

It FTPs, synchronizes, schedules and V3.2.10 is %100 freeware(scroll down).

CuteFTP Pro isn't free, but has the best auto-folder synchronization I've seen. It will monitor a folder on your computer and on the server and reflect any changes to either one to the other.
You might also want to give BatchFTP a try -- I reviewed it in the mini-reviews section. It's not free, but it's cheap (15 bucks). It integrates with windows scheduler and can be set to perform scheduled FTP operations in either direction.
