Installing

1. Clone/Download this Repo
2. Run python setup.py install
3. Copy the default YAML file to ~ (users home directory).

Running Synclady

From Terminal, run synclady sync

This will start a file listener on the local source directory and push changes to the server source directory.

Functions

• synclady sync: Watches over local path defined in source in YAML configuration file
• synclady pull: Replaces local directory with server contents (use only once when you starting the application for the first time)
• synclady resync: Pushes all changes which were made when local system was offline and pulls new server contents

YAML configuration

This YAML is automatically created in the ~ (users home directory) directory. It holds all the configuration attributes for Synclady.

Attributes

• source: Local path to be watched, and server path to be synced with
• endpoints: Hash of each file/folder action which should ping to an API endpoint

    local: /Users/username/data/
    server: /uploads/username/
    ip: sample@192.168.1.1

    file_create: "http://192.168.1.1/api/files/create"
    file_destroy: "http://192.168.1.1/api/files/destroy"
    folder_destroy: "http://192.168.1.1/api/folders/destroy"
