Looking for automated file transfer software
I am looking for recommendations for a file transfer program that I can set to schedule nightly backups of files to my office. Now that I am working from home I am working on numerous VS C# and SSRS projects. I want to be able to point to my projects folder on my home computer and then schedule a backup to the office server. If it could setup to create daily folders on the server that would be a bonus. I would prefer to keep this just between my home and our server and not use something like GitHub.

I will need to see how ports on the office network we have left that are not being used. I could use our VPN and go to anyone of a number of servers. I totally forgot about FileZilla.
You don't need to check on the ports, just decide on a few, ex 21010 through 21020. Since you have over 64000 available, you HAVE TO TRUST ME, the amount of free ports is NOT an issue.

Sorry, senior moment. I was thinking of available IP addresses. You are correct. Ports are not an issue.
I understand not wanting to "trust" external sources but with the amount of stuff out there, I doubt what you have is on a hackers radar if there is a failure in their security. Cloud is here to stay.
I would look at Google or Microsoft.
We use OneDrive to keep files in sync: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onedrive/online-cloud-storage

Are you utilizing a VPN?
What is your storage destination? (NAS, Server disk storage, server share, etc)
