    Although Crowznest looks like a great idea, I need some sort of hot folder setup at the moment, I already have registered a different FTP application. Its a shame that there isn't a standalone application. Time to start investigating applescript perhaps!

    Their support team finally got back to me, and have been very helpful ever since. This software is still a little buggy, but it does save time and is a cool idea.

    CrowzNest ReviewCrowznest... doesn't do anything - Version: 1.1, 12/22/2005 01:38PM PST

    I've contacted their support multiple times and they don't respond. Captain FTP is a good program for OS X but Crowznest is a mystery. No ReadMe file came with it, and when i "launch" it from my apps folder it does nothing. Nothing at all. there's no menu item inside captain ftp 4.4 which says "use crowznest" for this folder or anything like that... i was hoping this would do what it said, and watch folders and automatically ftp them so the server would auto update all the time with the latest files... if anyone has any instructions on how this should work, please post a reply. thanks.
