Mimic file/directory changes on a local directory onto a specified remote directory on another server
- git clone https://github.com/Azoam/Asynchronous-Directory-Manager.git
- (optional). Alias or put into your Path variable the command 'node ' as adm
- Go into the directory where you would like changes to be recorded and mimiced.
- Run:
adm(ornode <absolute path to index.js>if you skipped 2)--host <hostname, ilab if you want to use an ilab machine> --remote <remote directory on the specified host> - You will be prompted for the ssh username and password (make sure your host machine allows for ssh, the program is scp based)
- As the program runs, work on the directory you ran the command in and all changes should be done on the remote directory you specified. (TIP): You can run the command in the background to continue use of your bash environment
- Problem: Lots of people enjoy using their text editors on their local pc's and it's a bit of a hassle to manage files/directories on remote servers.
- Possible Solution: A Asynchronous Manager that watches the directory being worked on and whenever any changes happens within that directory (and sub directories) and applies those changes to a relative remote directory; in a sense mimics.
- Primary Audience: Rutgers Computer Science students, hence ilab.js
- usage: node index.js --host --remote
