Automatic, one-way sync

[jlivingston]

Sorry if this is obvious, or already in the forums.  I did a couple of moderate searches, but didn't find anything.

I work with a couple of teams, and every now and then I find that I'll accidentally overwrite someone else's work, because I don't have the latest copy off the server.  I know I should simply get into the habit of manually downloading the latest copy, or of simply working directly off the server.  But I need my local Textmate projects, and besides, isn't that what technology is for, to automate my repetitive tasks?

Anyway, I'm looking for a way to have certain ftp accounts automatically compare the remote project folder with the local project folder, and do a "download only" one-way sync of any files that have changed, so that I get the latest files from the remote server, but nothing from my local folders get uploaded, even if they're newer.  I handle the upload myself through a hotkey in Textmate.  I'd like for the first sync to occur when I startup Yummy.  It would also be nice if this check would occur on a specified interval after that.

Is this a pipe dream, or is it something that's already possible?

Thanks for your time.

Scheduled Synchronizations should be just the ticket

A brief overview is described in the Quick Start, available from the Help menu. All you need do is configure it for Update Mac rather than Update Server and you should be good to go.

Note that Yummy will need to be left running in order for scheduled synchs to run, but you don't need to keep a connection window open.
