I have an .html file that sits in a dropbox account. I would like to find a program that would automatically upload that .html file to the FTP site of my choosing whenever the html file is updated.


Does such a program exist, or can you creative AT'ers think of a workaround?

You can create a cron job to run hourly or something, then point it at a shell script that would upload via FTP.

Since Finder has built-in FTP capabilities, you might also be able to use rsync (or ArRsync, if you're a GUI guy) to set it up.

Dunno if there are any auto-sync capabilities built into a third party FTP client like Cyberduck or FileZilla, etc.
