setting up synch ftp to two or more hosting accounts

[manuleka]

i've got two hosting accounts on different providers... i'm wanting to synch my ftp uploads/downloads so that when i upload to one server it also goes to the second one...

server 1 is my main server, and server 2 is a backup for server 1 incase it fails...

is that dependent on the ftp client tool?

Investigate flashFXP site-to-site transfers.

Flashfxp can do site to site transfers however it's not something done automatically, nor can you send a transfer to one site and have it automatically go to another.

I had a similar task last year at work. I found a perl script online (http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6686) and tweaked it to my liking and now it runs twice a day as a cron job on one of our servers. Works perfectly.
