filetools

---

some tools of file

Why

For practice and replace so many different tools, the filetools will combine more features about file into one command.

Build

build-release.sh is a shell script to build the release, it can be all different architectures and platforms binary files

./build-release.sh

The release file will be build in release directory

Usage

./filetools -h

Now command

• compare: Compare the different between two directories, it also can comapre the files
• copy: Copy the files or directories to other path, it has progressBar
• info: Output the information about a file or directory
• rename: Rename a file, it can keep the original file
• list: List files in a directory, it can sort files, limit the number of files, so it's useful to find the large files in a directory. if you find your disk space is not enough, you can findout which files are large and determine wether it can be deleted.
• delete: Delete a file or directory, this command is soft delete by default, it means we will move the file to the ~/.ft-trash directory, if you accidentally delete a file, you can recover it from the trash. We don't move the file into the cycle on Windows because it need use cgo, but I don't want it. You also can delete it directly, pass -hd to hard delete it. In future, we will use a flag to clean the trash.
• move: Move a file or directory, it may work like mv, but we are not satisfied with it, you should use it be careful. Of course, the normal condition is ok, I means there are some extremely case not been tested, if you find any bugs on it, please tell me.
