I'm running windows 7 and I have a working dir in my PC. I have my staging server that I only have FTPS (Explicit) access to.

What I want... Everytime I change something in my local dir, I want my remote dir synced via FTPS method alone.

SVN, CVS, GIT is not an option.

I tried notepad++, eclipse and Netbeans and all couldn't work. In general, I don't want to rely on an IDE to achieve this task.

And I don't want to install anything funny like rsync and I don't want to write scripts.

That doesn't leave many options. – Robert Harvey Oct 26 '12 at 2:36

Windows 7 (and to a degree, earlier versions) has a built in feature for working with 'offline files' that comes pre-installed. It may be adequate for what you are doing. windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/… – JustinC Oct 26 '12 at 3:18

As answered by afrazier on this link, I think this is the best option left.

WinSCP can do exactly what you want with it's Synchronize feature. The only problem is that it will occasionally miss an update and you'll have to stop the monitoring and restart it (which forces a full sync). I've only ever noticed this when I'm doing lots of saves to the same file over short time intervals though.
