ftplicity 1.3b to be released - Re: [Duplicity-talk] Newbie questions...

[edgar . soldin]

Hello AJ,

regarding comment number 4 .. you can use a wrapper like ftplicity 
(simplified user frontend for duplicity ftp backups) to make the process 
a little bit more straight forward. Btw. I am finishing a new release of 
ftplicity right now and will put it on sourceforge. A list of changes 
and the location will be send top this list then.

Regards Ede
