Overview

KFS is a simple tool for 'synchronising' files between two sites. Usually, these two sites will be a local directory on your machine and a remote directory via FTP.

KFS can scan the source site and compare the modified times of all the files with the corresponding files on the destination site. It then presents a list of files that are newer on the source site than the destination site, and offers to copy these files over.

Often, the clock on your destination site will be different to that on your source site, as remote machines are frequently on a different time-zone. KFS can allow for this by detecting the time difference and taking in into account when comparing timestamps.

KFS presents an easy-to-use graphical interface to manage this functionality, under the KDE desktop system.
