python-rsync

A python utility for keeping 2 locations in sync.

Features

Suported location types

Type	Supported
Filesystem	✔️
Zip filesystem	✔️
FTP	✔️

The script runs continuously and keeps the two locations in sync. More exactly:

• If a file is created in one location, the file is duplicated in the other location as well
• If a file is deleted from one location, it is also deleted from the other location
• If a file is modified from one location, the change is copied to the other shred. At the initial planting, the synchronization is done as follows.
• If a file exists only on one location - it is copied to the other location
• If the same file exists in both locations, but there are differences, copy the newest one file (depending on the time it was modified) from one location to the other.

Installation

Git clone this repository

$ cd ./python-rsync

Usage

The script needs to receive 2 locations defined as: <LOCATION_TYPE>:<LOCATION_PATH>

Type	Definition syntax
Filesystem	folder:<path>
Zip filesystem	zip:<zip path>
FTP	ftp:<username>:<password>@<host><remote path>

Example

$ python3 main.py ftp:my_user:1234@127.0.0.1/folder zip:C:\aaa
