Option 2: Install FTP Synchronizer on one of the servers

If one of servers is running Windows system and you have permission to do that, FTP Synchronizer will work for you without problem. Just like normal local and remote sync.

Option 3: Use local computer as a 'swap'

For example: There are two folders: folder_a and folder_b in site_a and site_b respectively and you want to keep two folders in sync. Here are what you should do:

  1. Install FTP Synchronizer on local computer.
  2. Create a folder, e.g. swap_folder, on local computer as swap space.
  3. Add a profile, e.g. site_a_to_swap_folder. You can update site_a to swap folder with this profile.
  4. Add another profile, e.g. swap_folder_to_site_b. You should update swap folder to site_b with this profile.

After running two profiles, site_a and site_b will be synchronized.
