IDEA: setting up a simple encrypted ftp offsite backup
jgpaiva:
I meant "csbftp" (contextmenu quickuploader: http://www.toffi-net.de/cFTP-support/eindex.php).

Hum.. That looks good.
I was hoping to find something more command-line based, though :(
Well, jamo.. any comments on wr975's method?
wr975:
A Syncback Profile can be run from command line. That's the beauty... do some configuring once, configure a scheduler and fully automated backup to your FTP server.
An AHK script can do everything asked. Use 7Zip to pack, use a commandline ftp to upload, play sounds... all pretty easy to code, just takes time (I don't have, sorry).

It seems like it should work. but, alas my good fellow, i removed the small application from my machine.
I download, installed, but quickly scrapped the tool from: http://www.toffi-net.de/cFTP-support/eindex.php
1.I don't know German.
2.I did not see any new option in my Right-Click menu.
3.Am cautious of anything that enters something to my registry. I know it's needed for the Right-Click menu, but I can/will do without.
Your solution looks interesting, wr975. (it misses the symphonic orchestra though. and i though it was the most important part of the coding snack .:P)

I think perhaps we should make that a requirement ... the symphonic melody that plays when ya Right-Click a new OPTION.

I think I'll just learn to use (first of all) SyncBack, it's on my downloaded list of favorite apps, and then when I know I'm using it properly, learn AHK well enough to manipulate it to my will.

Sorry, thought the program was multi-lingual, as they offer a English homepage. :down: Couldn't test in on my German XP.

Well, if you disallow registry access it won't work. SyncBack also needs registry access, but you don't have to be cautious with SyncBack. It's no malware.

I used SyncBack a couple times; wonderful little app. I used it for an external, on-site hard drive though...
