Same files transfered every day at the same hour
« on: August 28, 2008, 04:40:37 AM »
Hello,
I'm using Yummy for several years now, and it's still the best FTP for Mac to me.
BUT there's still a function not yet implated in this amazing software (unless as far as I know) : the upload of selected files every day at the same time. I know, in the queue drawer, it's possible to "schedule waiting transfers to take place at a later time, and/or repeat the transfers periodically", but only if you don't shut down Yummy. Problem is I shut down my computer every evening (let's be green and be aware of electricity consumption, and it's better for the system also to sleep for a while). Then every morning I have to schedule again the 3 files (in 3 different folders) to be sent at 11:30. And I can't use synchronization because it's a near 1000 html pages site (I know, rather stupid, it would be better in php but client decides, isn't it ?) and I only need to upload 3 files... Furthermore, there's locally a lot of dummy pages and so on I don't want to be on the server. Could you do something on a next version ? Or does it already exists and I'm stupid not to have noticed ?
Regards.

I agree - this needs to be fixed and I will fix it.

For the time being, though, you could consider using iCal and an AppleScript: If you set up a repeating event in iCal and attach an AppleScript to the event it will be executed. If you write an AppleScript for Yummy to upload the items you want, you can use that. It's a little clumsy, but it works!
