Can FTP Synchronizer monitor FTP server?

"Monitor" means FTP Synchronizer sits there and receive notification from OS when a file is changed. It doesn't scan folders in order to find out the changed files.

FTP Synchronizer's real time sync can monitor changes on local/network folders. However, it can't monitor folders on FTP server since standard FTP protocol doesn't provide such ability. In this case, please use scheduled sync instead.

If you really want to do that, you need to install our Rock FTP Server which extends the standard FTP protocol to monitor remote folders. RockFTP server is a full feature FTP server. You can replace your old FTP server with it, or let it work with your existing FTP server together. More information about it, please visit http://www.rockftp.com
