JARVIS 3.0

What's new is a Dropbox-like remote filesystem. Anybody who's SSH'd somewhere knows how much of a pain in the ass it is to transfer files between the server and other computers (servers or clients). With "j up", you can upload files to a easy-to-type URL, and then download with "j get".

On top of all that, you can treat the remote filesystem as a Unix filesystem with commands like "j rm", "j ls", and "j cat".

Installation

Download the whole git repo (git clone http://github.com/mallochine/jarvis2.git). Run the command that corresponds to your shell:

• make bash
• make zsh
• make csh

Commands

j add

Add the current directory as a bookmark.

aguo@unix1:~/Documents/10605$ j add
Type an alias for the current working directory, or ^C to quit:
ml

j <bookmark>

Go to the directory corresponding to the bookmark.

aguo@unix1:~$ j ml
aguo@unix1:~/Documents/10605$

j up <filename>

Uploads the filename. Does not parse wildcards yet.

[ec2-user@ip-10-252-62-49 jarvis2]$ j up README.md
