Does anyone have a recommendation between the four apps mentioned above, to use iCal via FTP to upload calendars to one's own servers?


thanks for any help!

Since nobody seems to have any feedback, I'd look up what people have to say about each one on VersionTracker and MacUpdate. I'm curious too (mostly for my boyfriend since he publishes to his web server via FTP).

I got him to try iCal FTP and iWebCal. The former worked after a few hiccups. But it only published to his web server. It's not in a viewable form on his site. So, for his PC at work and being able to look up his calendar away from his home Mac, this was no good. (FYI, when he navigated to his homepage after publishing it, it downloaded everything back into his iCal so he had duplicate entries.)

The latter requires that you have some knowledge of php/access to a php server. The UI and help wasn't very helpful. Also, there's some kind of server-side maintenance thing that's needed. I'm not sure about these details, mind you. Just that he abandoned hope for now on not having to use 2 calendars.

If you found anything else out, please post it here. I'm still looking for a solution for him.
