looking for a commandline (if possible) app that will let me ftp
upload a directory of files to my website, but one that only updates
new files or newer versions of files. I want to be able to ask my wife
(lovely girl but a computer dummy)to turn on my computer logon the net
and then double click a .bat file to get all the folders to get put on
a remote directory... I've done heaps of googling and not really found
one... not really sure what i should be looking for anyway? PS. one
that has fairly easy commandline terms too please, I'm not that far
away from the wife!

WPUT:
wput is a tiny program that looks like wget and is designed to upload files
or whole directories to remote ftp-servers.

http://itooktheredpill.dyndns.org/wput/wput-0.4.exe <-- direct download
single exe no other files

Look for the timestamping feature with the "-N" option.

Run it like so:

wput-0.4.exe -h

for all the command line options. If that tool doesn't work there might be
others out there that will.

I use ncftpput that comes with ncftp:
http://ncftp.com/ncftp/
ftp://ftp.ncftp.com/ncftp/binaries/ncftp-3.1.8-win32.exe

I also combine it with Cobian Backup to automate calling the batch file
at the same time every day. I use this for my daughter in university and
it works very well! Cobian Backup works excellently as a scheduler and
backup program. Since I already have it on her machine for backups, I
don't bother installing a separate scheduler (e.g., cron), using AT or
Task Scheduler.
