This is the lynchpin in my Windows development that links all my custom BAT scripts to my FTP and SFTP servers for plugin updates and script updates it allows me to set and forget, and it was worth every penny I paid for it, I can’t recommend this software enough, it was a really upgrade from the free no longer developed FTPBox

SureForms

SureForms from Brainstorm Force is a really nice Guttenberg first form plugin. I use it a lot, and I have written an add-on for it called Response for Sure Forms. This allows you to use other API based automators, such as flowmattic to return items to our forms based on workflow.
