rb_upload

A boringly named upload tool written in Ruby.

Installation

Run the following command:

sudo ln -s `pwd`/rb_upload.rb /usr/local/bin/rbup

to add the executable to your PATH as rbup.

In Cygwin, add the following to your .bashrc:

alias rbup='/path/to/rb_upload/rb_upload.rb'

Usage

To use rb_upload, make a copy of the upload_settings.yml file and place it in the directory you wish to upload. Set local_directory to "." if you want to upload the files directly from this directory.

Run rbup in the directory to upload all files to the specified remote directory.

For other options, run

rbup -h

Netrc

You'll need a .netrc file with the credentials for every site you use. Make sure its permissions are set with chmod to 600, or it may not work.

Known issues

The major issue is that filesize comparison will only work with ascii files if the line endings on the server and dev machine are setup the same - if you're uploading to a Linux box, you need to make sure your local files use \n endings or it'll judge the local and remote files to be different.
