Yet again, I’ve sacrificed sleep to work on this backup software. As my friend Drew says, “Sleep’s overrated.” I wish I could believe you, Drew. At any rate, the FTP junk is mostly done, although I haven’t tested it and still need to hook it up to the “backup” button and some GUI update stuff.
It should upload directories, then search for the selected file types on the local drive and try to upload the file. If it fails (i.e. file exists), it tries to upload again w/ resume enabled. If it fails again, it tries to upload w/ resume disabled and overwrites the file. I’m expecting semi-competent people to use this feature..e.g. you pass it a directory to which you have write permissions..if you don’t, don’t expect me to magically hax0r your files onto some random FTP.
The last backup location for the copy backup will now be saved to the registry on exit (yay?) and although I haven’t implemented it (on the list of TODO’s), the same will be true for the last FTP settings. Donate via paypal to amrothegeek at yahoo dot com to keep a college student happy for writing this 4k line of code monster. I need to tidy up the code, but it’s under construction….so I’ll do that once the functionality is there.
