jscape-rest-uploader

Node.js REST client for JSCAPE file server. Allows resuming multipart file uploads.

var JscapeRestUploader = require('jscape-rest-uploader');
var uploader = new JscapeRestUploader(
  'https://ftp.example.com',
  'username',
  'secretPassword',
  'your-auth-domain'
);

// Get files in the root. Automaticly login if not authenticated
// Each instance of JscapeRestUploader has it's own auth cookie jar.
uploader.listFiles('/').then(function (list, response) {
  console.log("status: ", response.statusCode);
  list.forEach(function (file) {
    console.log("path: ",                 file.path);
    console.log("name: ",                 file.name);
    console.log("type: ",                 file.type);
    console.log("readable: ",             file.readable);
    console.log("writable: ",             file.writable);
    console.log("size: ",                 file.size);
    console.log("lastModificationDate: ", file.lastModificationDate);
  });
});

Uploads

// You can also login, wait, then upload
uploader.login().then(function () {
  uploader.uploadResumable(localFilepath, targetDirectory, newFilename).then(
    () => {console.log("COMPLETED");},
    function(e) {console.log("FAILURE:", e);},
    function(p) {
      console.log(p.percentage + `%\t${p.transferred} / ${p.length}`);
    }
  );  
}, function (error) {

});

Resumable uploads cut the file into several segments that are sent by the same number of PUT requests to the server so that if the connection fails, the user doesn't have to start the upload from zero. By default the chunk size is 10MB but you can configure that if your users have a slow connections or using really big files files.

The code will look for a file with the same name as targetFilename inside targetDirectory. Care should be taken so that you don't have collisions with pre-existing files.

Upload Buffers

You can also send a buffer instead of a file path with uploadBuffer(). This is usefull for creating a json file without writing to the local disk.

// You can also login, wait, then upload
uploader.login().then(function () {
  var jsonBuffer = new Buffer('{"fromBuffer": true}');
  uploader.uploadBuffer(jsonBuffer, targetDirectory, newFilename).then(
    () => {console.log("COMPLETED");},
  );
}, function (error) {

});

Configuration

• Skip SSL validation errors: JscapeRestUploader.Config.rejectUnauthorized = false;
• Set uploadResumable segment size: JscapeRestUploader.Config.uploadSegmentSize = 1024 * 1024 * 5;// 5MB

Scripts

• Directory listing: With npm, npm run-script ls / -l or with node, node scripts/ls.js /remote-dir
• Upload file: npm run-script upload source.jpg final.jpg /destination
• Delete file: npm run-script delete /destination/final.jpg

These scripts will authenticate by looking for a secrets.js file that looks like this:

module.exports = {
  host:     'https://ftp.example.com/',
  username: 'jimmy',
  password: 'secret',
  domain:   'Acme Inc.'
}

You can change your shell NODE_PATH to include the directory where secrets.js can be found:

export NODE_PATH=".:./config"

Test files

To make a dummy test file to upload try openssl rand -out dummy-md.pcap -base64 $((250000000 * 3/4)) to make a 250MB file.
