Mirroring function. I'd be nice to be able to just setup a service or a schedule or something (something that's either done once or continual) so that a site directory gets mirrored periodically via flashfxp. Example, lftp's mirroring capabilties.

Couldn't you just set up the mirror in your queue, save the queue into a .fqf, then set up a timer using Windows Scheduled Tasks or something, and specify the queue file in the application run line like:
"FlashFXP.exe myqueue.fqf"
use "FlashFXP.exe -c2 myqueue.fqf" to have FlashFXP quit once the transfer/mirror is complete.

I believe it will automatically start downloading/mirroring. Just make sure you properly set up your File Exists Rules and all should be well.

Well, I don't know if that'll work if the directories are named differently. I tried using the Queue As function when I queued it up but it would'nt download any of the files or directories. I need it to download/mirror the contents of an unlike named folder. If you have any other ideas I'd appreciate it.

why wouldn't it work? did you try just queueing the folder itself such that there's only one item in your queue (one folder)?

Well I think it doesn't work because the directory that it's trying to mirror is a symbolic link and not really a directory. I'm trying to mirror the contents from where the symbolic link takes you to another symbolic linked directory on another site. I'll play around with it some more but seems like I'm having issues because the site to site mirroring I'm trying to do involves sim links to other dirs.
