Send directories?

[nthiery]

Thanks so much for cloudsend! It arrives just on time for my needs :-)

Would it be possible to send (recursively) a directory instead of a single file?
Probably not: I did not even manage to do it from the file-drop web page.

Sending directories is currently not supported.

You would have to make a script that will iterate through the files and send each one on its call.

Also, cloudsend had no MakeDir call. CloudManager has makedir, but is not for sending files to public shares and also does not currently support sending folders.

Thanks much for the insight! Sending an archive file instead will be slightly less convenient but will work too.

Yep. You can tar/zip the folder and send it as well.

Apart from that we would need to send all files, one by one anyways, even if I would implement it here.

And there is no support to creating folders at the destination (all files would be sent to the shared folder root). I don't think I can do anything about that.

Hi. I have released a new version (2.1.0) which can both send multiple files (using globs) and also send piped content (using - OR . as input file name).

---

Here are the release notes:

• Adds stdin as input option (piped content)
  • uses either - or . as input file name
  • requires -r <filename>
• Allows to use globbing at the input
  • can send multiple files by using globs
  • requires -g option
  • not compatible with -r <name> option (rename)
• Adds new checks and parsing
• Cleaned up unused code
• Updated readme and --help

There is more info on the main Readme file.

I have updated the readme with an example on how to send an entire folder (and/or subfolders) using find + cloudsend.

Folder send with find example:

find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec ./cloudsend.sh {} https://cloud.mydomain.tld/s/TxWdsNX2Ln3X5kxG -p yourPassword \;

This sends everything on the current shell folder.

• change the first ./ to change the input folder (eg. '/home/myname/myfolder')
• -maxdepth 1 will read current folder only, more levels go deeper, supressing goes all levels.

[nthiery]

Thanks! I just tried the find way. It has one caveat though: the directory structure is flattened.

[tavinus]

Yep, there is no way to create sub-folders.

If you want to keep the tree, it would be better to send a zip or tarball.

[tavinus]

Like mentioned, we cannot create folders into shared links, so need to flatten or send a zip/tarball.

After more than 2 months I will guess this is solved.
Feel free to post again or reopen if the problem persists.

Hi @nthiery

v2.2.0 is out and is the first version that can send folders.

This one will actually create the whole tree and send everything.

Nice! Thank you for the update :-)
