Can BestSync Do this?

I have a local folder and want to backup each night.

Each night I want to create a single zip file with AES 256 bit encryption and FTP it to my backup server.

I want BestSync to create a new folder on the backup server with the date and time in folder name, then FTP the single encrypted zip file to this folder. So at the end of 5 days, there would be 5 folders, each with a single zip file.

Then on the 6th day, a the oldest folder would be deleted, so only the 5 backups are stored.

Each night I want the entire folder zipped and FTPed.

Please try BestSync 2012, BestSync 2012 can use date & time fields in the folder name or ZIP file name.
For example:
<date:yyyyMMdd> will add the date string of today.
<date:yyyyMMdd-1> will add the date string of yesterday.
<date:yyyyMMdd-2> will add the date string of the day before yesterday.
The details are here:

So you can setup two tasks:
1. ZIP the folder to a ZIP file named by the date string:
Folder---> c:\Temp\<date:yyyyMMdd>.zip
2. Upload the ZIP file to FTP folder
c:\Temp\--->FTP folder
