FTP Family Historian Website Plugin

I am currently developing a plugin which will FTP a Family Historian website to an FTP server, with the following features:
  • Upload a complete FH website (currently only the main folder as FH does not use subfolders)
  • Track pages which have not changed since the last run and skip them.
  • Delete pages/items from the Web server which are not in the local folder
  • Ability to clear the page tracking to allow a full upload.
  • Remembers FTP settings and folders by Project
Is there anything else anyone would find useful while I am still developing (no promises for the first release though)?

I presume the Plugin will upload every file in the selected folder.
This would include:
  • Any user created custom .css Cascaded Style Sheets or .js Java Script files.
  • Any .ged GEDCOM, or .pdf Reports, or .jpg Diagrams referenced by the ToC.
  • Any Map Life Facts generated map*.html files.

Yes, every file in the folder (but not subfolders at the moment) using acsii upload for .css and .html ones and binary for the rest.

Would ASCII upload be better than binary for .js Java Scripts too?

I have added js to the asci uploads.

I think this plugin is fairly solid now.
