ZitaFTP Server, ZitaSync, & ZitaFS

The AmiWest Amiga computer show was last weekend, and I unveiled some of what's coming for ZitaFTP Server. ZitaFTP Server was never meant to be "just another FTP server." I always had bigger plans...

Now that ZitaFTP Server is out of pre-release I can finally turn some of those plans into reality. Watch the video above to see what's coming. Or, read the summary below.

ZitaSync

Copying photos/files from my phone has always been a pain. I've never found a solution that I like. Bluetooth is slow and clunky. USB is fiddly, and you need to manually choose which files. Cloud file syncing software sends files to a third-party server half a world away and back (and I have to trust that they'll respect my privacy).

Enter ZitaSync. Once paired with ZitaFTP Server, it'll automatically copy new files directly to your computer.

Current status: very early prototype

ZitaFS

ZitaFS will allow you to browse FTP servers on your local network, and you can also mount FTP servers as if they're a local drive. It'll be able to (optionally) mirror files locally, and I plan to make it support and preserve all file attributes (even AmigaOS attributes, provided the FTP server is ZitaFTP).

About the author

Hans de Ruiter

Hans de Ruiter is Kea Sigma Delta Limited's founder. As a child/teenager he taught himself programming, constructed electronic circuits from kitsets, and also had a keen interest both science and in building things himself. Persuing these interests further, he gained a degree in electrical & electronic engineering (University of Canterbury), and eventually a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. Hans also has a bit of an entrepreneurial streak, and so this company (Kea Sigma Delta Limited) was founded. It is a vehicle through which all of these interests can be persued. Aside from science and technology, most things interest him. That child-like curiosity of the world has never left him. In particular, he also enjoys hiking and the outdoors. Playing violin and piano are also spare time hobbies of his.
