Is there a way to create a folder that automatically ftps (get & put) files when new files are added and removed (Without directly using an ftp client)?

yeah you can write a batch script (.bat)
it uses the same commands as the command line but you can do cool stuff like for..x loops and whatnot
lookup batch ftp scripts and
command line ftp'ing using .txt scritps

this can work for mac and pc?

i've only used it on pc.. you'd have to look into batch scripting on mac.. which you could probably do with applescripts.
does mac's terminal utility support ftp'ing the way windows' command line does?
- connerd0
answer: yes
i just tried it.

yeah you can Map a Drive to do it using MS Windows

so you can drag and drop files into folders rather than having to use software

that's true, that drive-mapping stuff is wicked.. i was playing around with it the other day.
i'm guessing you probably could do it w/ osx somehow too

Man, I have no idea where to begin. I have no programming experience. Is there anything pre written for this. I did a search but couldn't find anything. I'm looking ot do this in OS 10.2.6.
Any leads??

Interarchy has an 'FTP Disk' function that does this too (synching a local folder to the server). You can also make clickable Interarchy bookmark files to do a mirror-synch of individual folders in either direction or both.

there is no script for it man, it's more like networking knowledge. ;)

or just find the right program to do it (or to create the droplets/scripts) there are a few that do this...
