I totally love the way Fiddler neatly reduces a flood of HTTP information to just the stuff I want to see. I was wondering whether there is a utility out there that does the same for socket operations and calls?

Hi everyone! I'm in a need of a shell script that search for all files in a folder, move all those files to a temp folder, and upload those files via FTP.
