Exclude files, dirs on upload OR copy only different size?

[mibamur]

Hello!

I have some big images and many js duplicate libarary for "when CDN fail", and when I load all files and dirs to host - spend more time.

Solve problem:

• add exclude options ftp_exclude: [ '/js', '/img/*', 'README.md' ] or read exclude from like .gitignorebut .glyynignore or .ftpingnore
• add options ftp_replace: all | size | time

Interesting idea. Checking the update date wouldn't be reliable, since it's not necessarily always the same machine releasing. The file size could also cause problems if a file has been changed but is size happens to remain the same.

What about storing an internal manifest file containing a md5 of all files, and checking both hashes in order to decide whether we want to upload or not?

[mibamur]

I thinking about md5. Can We/ I /You add this options and how do it right?

simple scheme

localrepo

• manifest.ftp_file (create manifest | calculate md5 files )
  • file1 md5checksum1
  • file2 md5checksum2

remote

• manifest.ftp_file
  • file1 md5checksum1
  • file2 md5checksum2

Logic

get manifest.remote
if manifest.local != manifest.remote {
  compare  manifest.local.Hash manifest.remote.Hash
 # where Hash { file1, md5 }
}

You mean like that?

[dmathieu]

Yes, I think you got the idea. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have the time to implement this in the near future. Feel free to work on it, I'll be glad to review any PR.

[mibamur]

ok, I`ll do it

[dmathieu]

Don't close this issue, as it's not fixed yet ;)

in works

[dmathieu]

I'm actually going to close this, since it's not a bug but a feature request and it's going stale. Anybody wants to work on it, feel free to open a PR.

[mibamur]

I made it but can not find better place where I may paste my code.

Looking forward to it. The suspense!

Any news?

[mibamur]

I will do it next week! I promise :)
