Z-FTPcopy II: Automated, Secure FTP Backup Infrastructure Z-FTPcopy II is a powerful Windows-based FTP client engineered specifically for automating offsite data backups. Developed by Point 20 Corp. as part of the modular Z-DBackup suite, it functions seamlessly as an automated add-on or a robust standalone application.
In modern data management, maintaining an offsite backup is critical for disaster recovery. Z-FTPcopy II simplifies this by moving local backup archives directly to remote FTP, SFTP, and FTPS servers. Key Features and Capabilities
Multi-Protocol Security: It fully supports standard FTP, SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), and FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS) to ensure that your corporate data remains encrypted during transit.
Command-Line Automation: The application doubles as a command-line utility. This allows system administrators to deploy it via batch scripts, Windows Task Scheduler, or the native Z-Cron Scheduler.
Incremental Uploads: To optimize network bandwidth, Z-FTPcopy II checks the Windows archive bit attribute. It isolates and transfers only newly created or modified files.
Integrated FTP Explorer: Built-in file management allows administrators to navigate remote server directories, modify permissions, or pull individual files for rapid disaster recovery.
Firewall and Keep-Alive Controls: Integrated passive-mode handling and keep-alive packets prevent connection timeouts when moving massive multi-gigabyte data sets through strict corporate firewalls.

For IT professionals seeking script integration, Z-FTPcopy II uses a standardized syntax to streamline automated deployments. A standard program execution follows this structure:
zftpcopy.exe Use code with caution.
Using this framework, administrators can write scripts that auto-execute at the close of business, verify successful connection logs, and immediately clear local temp files to save storage space. Implementation Options
Z-FTPcopy II offers flexible tiers depending on your infrastructure size. The Freeware Version allows personal users to test features with a 4 GB data transfer cap. For enterprise environments handling massive datasets, the Standard License removes all data caps and opens up multi-server profile configurations suited for complex corporate networks.
