Auto local-to-cloud file syncronisation

CloudSync

Automatic File Syncronisation to AWS S3 Buckets

Automatically observes and syncronises a local machine directory with a configured Amazon AWS S3 Bucket.

Problems

• Buckets currently have no security, public read&write access.
• Uploader saves into seperate buckets for temporary backups and finals.
• Regular Expressions need expanding to ignore system files and support ALL document types.
• Needs configuring settings for document types.
• No monitoring of file changes. Should compare and update.
• No deleting or flagging of deleted files between stores.

Requirements

Amazon AWS Node.js

Setup

1. Define the watch directory in config.json.
2. Configure an AWS S3 Bucket and assigning the bucketname to the AWS.BucketName property in config.json.

Installation

Open the terminal, navigate to the CloudSync project directory, and run the following commands.

1. npm install
2. npm start The program will initialise, syncronise and is then ready to observe files.

Backups

When backups are configured, the watcher will automatically scan for temporary 'working' files and save them to the configured AWS.BackupBucketName on S3.
