Recently I had the need to download from my company’s servers some files on daily basis. I had to replicate some data at my home server (I work from my home cause as I said on “About“, I can’t stand Athens). The operation normally takes a couple of hours on my 1Mb ADSL connection, so I had to do it only at night, while I was sleeping. Unfortunately, many times I forgot it and I had to do the FTP transfer at the morning waiting and bottlenecking my connection. Then I found this freeware software called FTP Scheduler…

FTP Scheduler offers automated scheduled downloads from FTP servers. It supports passive mode and manual mode and can download files based on wildcards or entire remote directories. You can schedule it at a specified time or on recurring times (e.g every 60 minutes). The files will be downloaded to a specified folder and all transactions are logged. Also supports command line options. Runs in the system tray.
This huge Humbolt squid caught off the coast of San Diego. It is not one of the monstrous “Architeuthis dux” but is the biggest I’ve ever seen caught live.
