copy-folders-ssh

Simple script to copy folders via ssh with their paths given in a file.

Usage

Create a .env file inside the config folder with the following variables:

• FILENAMESPATH: Path to a file to be read with your custom reader (more about this later) and which specifies which folders you want to copy
• ROOTPATH: Context path on server. Your file should give paths relative to this.
• HOST: Host on which the desired folders are
• USR: User to ssh to host
• PASSWD: SSH password

Running

Call python (or python3) with the following flags:

• --mode: specifies to which machine you want to copy files to. 'local' to local machine and 'remote' to host machine.
• --path: path where to put copied folders

Readers

For the script to work, you need to give a Reader that inherite from BaseReader and implement a readline method. Each return of readline() should give the relative (to the ROOTPATH var) path of the desired folder. The folder and it's contents will be copied to the path provided with the --path flag, as well as it's parent directories up to the ROOTPATH.

TODO

• Allow paths without backslash on the end of it (it will be added by the program).
• Add a dry run flag
• Allow paths with blank spaces
• Validate given paths to not allow improper path representation
• Allow passless ssh
• Implement option to search for a given directory without knowing the path from ROOTPATH to it
• Modularize and upload to PyPi
