File management

Import porter:

import porter

Create a folder:

porter.mkdir('/foo/bar') # The directory 'bar' will be created within empty file.

Remove a file/directory:

porter.remove('/foo/bar')

Copy a file/directory:

# Two ways same result
porter.copy('/foo/bar.txt', '/foo1/bar.txt')
porter.copy_to('/foo/bar.txt', '/foo1')

Move a file/directory:

# Two ways same result
porter.move('/foo/bar', '/foo1/bar')
porter.move_to('/foo/bar', '/foo1')

Ignore and force:

porter.mkdir('/foo/bar', ignore=True) # If '/foo/bar' exists, porter will not create the folder and no error will occur.
porter.move('/foo/bar', '/foo1/bar', force=True) # If '/foo1/bar' exists, porter will move the directory anyway.

Ignore and force are both available in 'mkdir', 'copy', 'copy_to', 'move', 'move_to' functions.

Archive:

porter.archive('/foo/bar') # retrun the archive .tar file '/foo/bar.tar'
porter.archive('/foo/bar', 'archive', 'zip') # return the archive file '/foo/archive.zip'
porter.archive_to('/foo/bar', '/foo/bar1', 'archive') # return '/foo/bar1/archive.tar'

All supported archive types: 'gztar', 'bztar', 'tar', 'zip'
