Yummy FTP software provides scheduled uploading of files to your Web Server or Streaming Server. Yummy is one of the coolest FTP applications that I’ve seen. Currently the program is only available for Mac users and there’s a 30 day trial if you want to take the tool for a “test drive”.
The scheduling feature of Yummy is amazing and allows you to designate an FTP folder for automated scheduling. You can have Yummy check your FTP folder for new files every day, every hour, or every 15 minutes. Basically you can choose whatever frequency you want for scheduling. Yummy will be great for those that have a Streaming Video Operation. You can encode your videos and have them output to your FTP folder. Then, whenever there are new encoded videos, the files will be delivered to the Web Server or Streaming Server. If you’re a Mac user make sure you give the Yummy FTP software a try.

The tool is straightforward and easy to use and works similar to other FTP tools. FileZilla is not available on the Mac platform so you’ll need another FTP tool for that.

When the option comes up to select your file, click on the folder that the FileZilla log files are in. Once you select your folder click the OK button.

Consider performing log file analysis with Sawmill. If you have some log files that you need to analyze, Sawmill is an excellent tool for this purpose. The log analysis tool can process almost any log on the planet. What’s also nice is you can customize reports, use macros, apply filters and zoom in to analyze data even more. With Sawmill you can resolve domain names, create users, assign user roles and perform a host of other task. A feature I think is very cool is the ability to create users accounts and assign them a Statistics Visitor role. This means you can have the user log-in from anywhere with Internet access to view stats without having access to Administrative settings. There are many more features found in this tool. You should at least download a 30 day trial of Sawmill. Get some Firewall, Web Server, Streaming Server, System, or FTP logs and analyze them with this tool.
