Automate the process of copying files from local directory to remote.
About
This script allows you to copy files from the local directory on your PC to the directory on your remote server.
This script reads the ship_config.yaml configuration file to decide:
Which directories to ship (source)
Where to ship them (destination)
Why this script is useful?
Instead of relying on 3rd party applications such as PuTTy, WinSCP, or FileZilla; or command line utilities, such as ssh, scp, sftp, etc., you can use this script to copy the files to the desired destination.
Features
Various authentication methods: password, private key (RSA, DSA, ECDSA, Ed25519), vault
Choose which subdirectories to exclude
Choose which files to ignore based on their extension
Backup profile: copy from local drive to external drive
How to Use
There are two files:
ship_config.yaml - a configuration file where you specify the paths (which directories to ship).
ship.py - the script itself. Used to run the script that reads the ship_config.yaml file.
Inside of the ship_config.yaml file you will find a commented tutorial on how to configure it.
Example usage:
ship.py - no profile specified, so it will use the 'default' profile.
ship.py --profile=backup - will use the 'backup' profile.
