Secure file transfer

[Molenski]

Hi there, I don't know if this is the right forum for this but here goes...

Server A (2k8) is one side of the firewall and server B the other - my job is to find a way of sending files from A to B in 10 second intervals (only the changed files) and for this to be secure if possible.

I created a very simple batch file which uses robocopy and the 'sleep' option and sleeps for 10 secs. By default it seems that robocopy only copies across new files - I then thought, an IPSec tunnel would be great - traffic would be encrypted - everybody is happy. Apparently not ! This has something to do with the IPSec tunnel not being correct or any traffic being passed through it.

Anyone got any suggestions as to what I could do here? If I use IIS/FTP 7.5 with 2k8 I could maybe manage this with FTPS I think but I don't know how to script this to run every 10 seconds and even if FTPS is secure enough. Could this be scripted with the Windows task scheduler?

Any applications around that can do this for me that anybody knows of? Simple to use???

Thanks in advance,
Adam

WinScp has a lot of options:

FileZilla is quite easily scriptable:

Reading the manual of robocopy could help you out in that department...
