ftp-sync-python

Opensource, A way to safe your data, avoid lost data by Virus, Randsomware

Some functions:

Upload a folder automatically to FTP server
Loop sleep 1 hour to scan new file an upload
Retry when connection is error
Resume upload a file if remote filesize smaller than local filesize
Source code file from 001…007… is step by step from very simple to complete this program
Minizime to TrayIcon
Python, so cross platform? It can build and run on Linux, MacOS? I only build and run on Windows

This is simple program for my work, so it’s not designed a nice UI!

The story

I find many softwares to sync file to FTP Server (or other server like google, s3 amazon), but all are not free and ofcourse no source code.
So I make one to my need. I use this to backup my PC to a FTP server.

I’am afraid of Virus, Ransomware, it may be attack my PC, so backup to remote server is a good way to safe data!
I saw some people who are victim of virus, ransomware encrypted data … hacker required pay money to decrypt data… it’s really a nightmare.

I keep all my data of my PC more than 20 years to now. I always think about the case if my HDD is die, then data will be lost, so I research many way to backup. This tool is belong series of tool in my backup system. I will update here when I have time to complete other documents about backup (it will be: Build ftp server, use Veeam Software…)
