Automate FTP tasks

I have a production website (on a hostgator web host) and a test website (on a different hostgator web host).

I want to be able to do the following:

For each site, be able to transfer the site files from the web host to my PC with the following conditions:

* Initiating the transfer should be as simple as double clicking an icon

* For some folders in the website, transfer all contents

* For some other folders in the website, transfer only the folder structure, and not the content

(Basically, the website will create user directories - I will want to preserve the user directory structure but I don't need to download the content. The website also has an image cache - I will need to preserve the image cache folder but not the content).

The destination directory on my local computer should be different for the different sites. Ideally the destination directory should be created having a filename ending in a timestamp for the time at which the transfer was initiated. For example: \production\20160504_0845 - this is for download of the production site, initiated at 8:45am on 4 May 2016.

Rather than me giving you the host details or my local folder paths or the names of the directories for which I do not need the file contents, I want you to write the script in a generic way, documented, so I can enter in the values myself. I do not mean entering values at runtime - I mean I will modify the script to specify specific ftp details, destination directory, names of folders for which content is excluded, etc.

The above is step 1.

After this I may spec additional requirements but we can negotiate them separately. They would involve: a) automating file transfer from my local PC to either the test or production sites; b) improving all 4 file transfer processes so that some configuration files are selected to match the target environment. For example, my website has a config file that I use on my local machine which specifies how to connect to my local DB. It also has a .htaccess file that makes sense on my local web server. If I transfer my local site to the test host, then I want the transfer process to select a different configuration file and a different .htaccess file - ones that make sense for use on the test host.

Locally I am running Windows Vista Business.

I have selected lowest budget amount because for person with right skills and experience this should easily be done in 15 minutes. I will, however, need to be told if I need to install software. I'm guessing WinSCP might be applicable.
