Scheduled queue transfer

[anonymous]

I'm sitemanager at a site where we publish articles and rewiews
twice a week. My problem is, I have to stay up until 24:00 when a new
article / rewiew is to be published. Is there any chanse to add a
feature where I can schedule a transfer of the queue? If so, I could
add the files neccesary to the queue and select a date / day / time for
processing the queue. Also, I suggest that this feature takes care
of connection / disconnection when the selected time
occurs.
An example:

at 24:00, the program connects
to the server, process the queue and then disconnect. If any
problems occur, a warning message including the errors pops up.
When I wake up, I will see if the transfer was successfully - and if not, I
will know what the problem was.

This would help me a
lot!

Vidar Fagerjord, siteadmin.

Yes, I agree with that. So FileZilla could run in batch mode.
Great !

More a feature request than a support request - moved.

I had the same problem. My company had to develop a small and simple FTP client just because we couldnt find a good alternative (read OPEN here) with the schedule feature on it.

It would be really awesome to have it! I would install FileZilla all over my workplace. On every single pc/client. :)

I agree,

This would be a very helpful feature for publication's updates and also in the other way for backuping sites.

Great Job by the way.

This is not just for scheduled/timed downloads, but for timed uploads as well... in summary: scheduled/timed transfers.

I am also waiting for this solution even opened a new ticket #5193 on this but was redirected here, seems the issue is too complicated to be solved in 7 years :(

I have made a patch as part of ticket #8011 which implements scheduled transfers by a simple on/off queue. No word if it will be accepted however.

This would be very useful to automate regularly downloading backups, e.g. download file X from server Y every Monday at 1 AM.

It would also enable users to take advantage of off-peak downloads to avoid hitting their ISP capacity limits.

I cannot understand why this request has not been implemented. You already have a function to Process Queue. = Ctrl P.
All that is being asked for here is the ability to Process Queue on Date at Time.
Please add a function to Process Queue @ = Alt Ctrl P.
I imagine that this should be no more difficult than putting the call to Process Queue in a loop until the current date/time is greater than the required date/time.

The right tool for the right task. An interactive GUI client isn't the right tool for automated tasks. For automated tasks, a dedicated command-line client is the right tool.
