Ubuntu Question

[sixstringsg]

I'm a college student, and I didn't want to bring my big huge desktop rig to school, just my laptop. I run Ubuntu on my desktop, and I SSH into it to build kernels/ROM's. Until now, I copy files from it to my laptop with SCP, but I would like to automatically upload the finished files to my FTP. Can someone teach me how to write a script to automatically upload the files, or write it for me? Thanks.

I'm sure someone knows how, anyone?

Send me a pm as a reminder and ill send you a script when I get home... you can post it here. It can be automated with the expect command.

Actually... I just sftpd home...


You will need to modify this for your setup.. this was from Andromeda3 nightly.

Put your build code here




DISPLAY=:0
export DISPLAY

x=`expect -c 'set timeout 3600' -c 'spawn sftp [email protected]; 
           sleep 10; 
           expect "s password:"; send "password\n"; 
           expect "Connected to"; 
           expect "sftp>"; send "cd Andromeda/nightly\n";
           expect "sftp>"; send "put /home/adam/TeamKomin/Distributions/Andromeda-Nightly-'"$date"'.zip\n"; 
           expect "sftp>"; send "cd ..\n"; 
           expect "sftp>"; send "rm ./AndromedaNightly.zip\n"; 
           expect "sftp>"; send "symlink nightly/Andromeda-Nightly-'"$date"'.zip ./AndromedaNightly.zip\n"; 
           expect "sftp>"; send "ls\n"; 
           expect "sftp>"; send "quit\n"'`

if [ $? != 0 ]; then
  echo "`date` $x" >> ~/Desktop/error.log
  zenity --info --text="Nightly Build Failed
$x" 200 200
else
  zenity --info --text="Nightly Build Sucessful
$x" 200 200  
fi

Ok; awesome. Here's what I was using:

#!/bin/bash

Build script stuff here

# Configure FTP server settings
HOST="androtransfer.com"
USER="username"
PASSWD="password"

FILE=$RELEASE

echo "Uploading to server"
ftp -n -v $HOST << EOT
ascii
user $USER $PASSWD
prompt
put $FILE /public_html/captivate/$FILE
EOT

echo "Finished at $(zdump EST)"

Dropbox is a service that does the same thing that you are asking. I think they hand out two gigabytes of free space and all your connected computers are
updated with the uploaded information without much fuss.

Yeah, but that's just one more thing I have to deal with. Also, these builds go out to testers, and I would rather give them an FTP then make them make their own dropbox and share the folder with them. Handing out a link is infinitely more simple and quick. I have a box.net account that would do that, but not for my testers.

Ubuntu One is another one... however he is looking to automate FTP service. Dropbox is kiddie stuff. Its not a pro way to distribute files.
