what is the syntax to sync to a ftp server? I have tried
ftp://myftpsite.site.aplus.net/ (name changed) with and without a folder destination and it won't connect? any clues? this syntax works in a browser without problem, it keeps giving me a directory not found error in dsynchronize.

You need to use a username and password and the complete path on the ftp server that you will be accessing (often FTP users have access to a specific directory and once you login you are direct to that subdirectory).
ftp://user:password@host:port/full/path should work.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Now it says it worked, but when I go on the server the test file I synced is not there and the directory modified date shows no change?
Now it's back to not working.Maybe I should just find a portable FTP client that's more moron friendly?
So I go to look for a portable FTP client and what do I find? You are the developer of Filezilla.. I'll give it a try next. Thanks for your reply.
The syntax suggested by John T. Haller above worked as he indicated. Initially, I had the same false indication the files uploaded as philbertdesenex. I played with the check box options and it then worked. I believe unchecking Preview made it work. Thank you John T. Haller.
