mvfile

mvfile is a simple program that uses github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify to watch a set of directories and move all the new files to a corresponding directory. It waits until the files are done uploading before move them. This is specially useful for ftp servers where you have to wait for big files without having a cron job running every x time.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

You'll need a go environment, follow instructions in go website.

Installing

Download and install package:

go get github.com/schiob/mvfile

Set up configuration files

Set the .json file with the directories to watch, the directories to send the files and the user who will be the owner of the file:

{
  "paths":
  [
    {
      "in_path": "/tmp/in",
      "out_path": "/tmp/exit",
      "user": "user"
    },
    {
      "in_path": "/tmp/in2",
      "out_path": "/tmp/exit2",
      "user": "user:group"
    }
  ]
}

Set the .toml file with the path of the .json file, the path of the log file and the time between checks for a file to end uploading.

# Path to json file
jsonpaths="dirPaths.json"

# Path of logfile
logfile="mvfile.log"

# Time in sec for wait between file size checks
wait=5

Run it

mvfile -conf <path of .toml file>
