The goal is to upload my whole website as a zip then unzip on the remote server.
Are there any freeware tools like FTP ZipDeploy that automate this process?
If you can use rsync that is a great option.. you should consider using the backup directory option too so that you keep historical versions but keep them outside the public html area.
If you can't use rsync then you could use scp which will compress transfers for you.
If you can't use rsync nor scp then you can use something like CuteFTP (windows) which will compress transfers for you.
Any reason not to use rsync? It will conserve bandwidth/transmission time by not resending files that haven't been updated.

I need to send files the are on my PC the computer system at my school. In order for me to log in a manipulate the files on my school profile (when using bash) I have to type :
ssh -Y <username>#<school_name>.com
And that works just fine. But what I'm wondering is, if I want to be able to manipulate a file (for example file.txt) that is on my PC, how would I be able to send and manipulate the file.txt at school?
P.S. Sorry for my bad English...
You can just use scp <file> <username>#<school_name>.com from your PC's terminal. For futher details goto this link: SCP
You might want to take a look at SCP.
It allows you to copy a file on your local machine to a remote machine (such as your school computer) of vice versa.

I'm trying to upload one larger file to a web server - using CUTEftp Professional + VOIP Internet connection via Wi-Fi. File size is 136MB (it is a video).
It breaks up over and over. At some point it stops uploading and starts again from beginning.
Anyway, any ideas, suggestion about any upload manager, software which I can use due to these circumstances?
Thx.
Why don't you try free FileZilla instead of CuteFTP? It supports upload resume. Just search FTP Client Upload Resume in google and you'll find a lot of other FTP clients. But I personally suggest FileZilla, it supports upload resume feature. If upload breaks in middle, it will continue.

Is there any way to download an entire Vbulletin forum? It could just be in text files or whatever, doesn't matter to me but html files where the look of it is the same would be preferable.
I want an offline copy of the forum.
edit: the forum is password locked, I have to sign in before the forum becomes visible. So I don't think you can just target it with a script to download unless you can login first
If you are on Linux, you can do that with the wget tool:
wget --recursive http://www.websiteurl.com/
Some additional examples with wget.

I am considering upgrading my work computer to use windows 8 as the new file transferring feature seems very useful. Unfortunately after installing windows 8 on my home pc to test it out, the files are being transferred in separate dialogs as opposed to this image provided by microsoft.
As I am transferring files constantly a single transfer dialog would make things much less confusing. Does anyone know what settings to change to make file transfers appear in the same window?
To make file transfers appear in the same window you need to transfer files locally.
This is because a network connection can break out at anytime.

Let's say I'm downloading a website to my computer via FTP. In my FTP client, I select all of the files and folders in the website's root folder and begin downloading them to an empty folder on my desktop. Halfway through the transfer, I'm interrupted by a prompt asking me whether I want to replace such-and-such file or folder. Why does this happen?
It's just something that I've noticed over the years. And I never know what the right answer is when I'm in the middle of transferring thousands of files. I usually say "yes", but then I doubt the integrity of the copy. It happens sporadically when I'm downloading or when I'm uploading. I assume it's not a bug in my FTP client (FileZilla), or else it's a very, very persistent bug.
Edit: OK, so my question was switftly and mercilessly closed as off topic. Where should I have posted it? Can it be moved there?
This may happen if you're using windows locally, and linux remotely.
Since linux allows for case sensitive filenames, and windows does not. Your FTP may have files like "Images.jpg" and "images.jpg" and "IMAGES.jpg", but all three of these are the same to windows, so you will be prompted to overwrite them when more than one of them is downloaded.
