FTP-PYTHON

FTP-PYTHON is developed for pushing the files to the FTP servers based on time schedule. The program is developed in way once the file is pushed to the FTP server that perticular files will be moved to the local directory the local directory will store the files upto 30 days then it will cleared. It will also maintain the logs for updo 30 days to cross check the records or any issues you can see the logs in logs directory.

Requirements:

1. Python3.6 or greather than Python3.6

Installation Steps:

Step1: Download or clone the library

sudo git clone https://github.com/Saleem344/FTP-PYTHON.git

Step2: Create virtual environment

Python3 -m venv venv

Step3: Activate virtual environment

source venv/bin/activate

Step4: Install requirements.txt

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

step5: Change the credential in credential.py file accourding to your requirement

Ex :

result['host'] = 'FTP-energy.systems'
result['username'] = 'Admin'
result['private_key'] = 'C:/Program Files/TEST_FTP/.ssh/privetkey.pem'
result['FTP_path'] ='/srv/data/FTP-users/Admin/powerdata/'
result['local_path'] = 'C:/FTP_DATA/'
result['local_move_path'] = 'C:/FTP_DATA/FTP_DATA_OLD/'

Step6: Change the timing in schedule for how many minutes you want to push the files

Ex: schedule.every(1).minutes.do(ftp.data_push,'Test','writedaily')

Step6: To test run your program

python app.py

Step7 : Install app.py as startup service.

Create Service

1. Linux

Create Service Step1: The file the file must have .service extension under /lib/systemd/system/ directory

$ sudo vi /lib/systemd/system/test-py.service
Step2: Add some contant with python full path and description

      [Unit]
      Description=Test Service
      After=multi-user.target
      Conflicts=getty@tty1.service

      [Service]
      Type=simple
      ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /home/root/test_service.py
      StandardInput=tty-force

      [Install]
      WantedBy=multi-user.target 

Step3: Enable Newly Added Linux Service

Reload the systemctl daemon to read new file. You need to reload this deamon each time after making any changes in in .service file.

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Step4: Now enable and start your new service

$ sudo systemctl enable test-py.service

$ sudo systemctl start test-py.service
Step5: Start/Restart/Status of Your New Service

For service status:

$ sudo systemctl status test-py.service

      test-py.service - Test Service
         Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/test-py.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
         Active: active (running) since Fri 2020-02-28 14:57:03 IST; 2s ago
       Main PID: 32454 (python)
          Tasks: 1 (limit: 4915)
         CGroup: /system.slice/test-py.service
                 └─32454 /usr/bin/python /home/root/redis-key-expiry.py

    Feb 28 14:57:03 websofttechs-MS-7C02 systemd[1]: Started Test Service.

Step6: Below commands to stop, start and restart your service manual.

$ sudo systemctl stop dummy.service #To stop running service
$ sudo systemctl start dummy.service #To start running service
$ sudo systemctl restart dummy.service #To restart running service

2. Windows

Step1: Configure pm2

npm i -g pm2

Step2: Copy C:\Users\USER.pm2 to C:\etc.pm2

Step3. Set a new System Variable (not user level) name: PM2_HOME value: c:\etc.pm2

Step4: Runnning your app with pm2

run your pm2 app. ie: pm2 start app.py --name=FTP_PYTHON.

Step5: pm2 save to create a dump of the current apps running.

Step6: Testing app

Test everything is working, try: pm2 kill and then pm2 resurrect (app should be running, check with pm2 status should be online )

Step7: Run at startup

now we need to perform the resurrect command at startup, so:

npm install -g @innomizetech/pm2-windows-service

pm2-service-install -n PM2 --unattended

thats it.
