Mimic

A tool for making remote directories mimic local directories. Mimic monitors local files for changes, instantly syncing them to their destination.

Mimic has the ability to:

• exclude certain paths
• maintain an open SSH connection for faster transfers

Dependencies

• Pyinotify
• Pyro
• Rsync

Basic Usage

Start the Mimic daemon:

$ mimic start

Start syncing a local path to a remote destination (in rsync format):

$ mimic add path/to/dir user@example.com:path/to/dest --exclude *.ext

Stop syncing a path:

$ mimic rm path/to/dir

Stop the daemon:

$ mimic stop

For more information, and options:

$ mimic -h

TODO

• Optional configuration file
• Handle rsync dependency
• Tests
