- Short: Move files in DL to local Aminet mirror
- Author: Kenneth.Nilsen@riksnett.no (Kenneth Christopher Nilsen)
- Uploader: Kenneth.Nilsen@riksnett.no (Kenneth Christopher Nilsen)
- Version: 1.1
- Type: disc/misc
- Replaces: disc/misc/MTM*
- Requires: kick 2 or better
-
-
- MoveToMirror 1.1 (1.2.97)
-
- *NEWS*: Clone option added (date/protectionbits/comment) + bugs fixed!
- ALSO: See HISTORY at bottom of file.
-
-
- This program is FREEWARE!
-
-
- This tool is used locally to move the files you have in your download
- directory to a local Aminet mirror on your harddisk. The program uses the
- *.readme files and the "Type:" field to determine where to put the
- files. If drawer(s) don't exists MTM will create them when needed.
-
-
- The program is written in assembler using NewStartup for speed and size.
-
-
- USAGE: MoveToMirror [sourcedir] [destdir] [-v] [-r] [-d] [-c]
-
- sourcedir - copy from this directory (files and/or .readme)
- destdir - copy to this root dir (+ type:)
- -v - verbose actions
- -r - do not copy readme files to destdir
- -d - delete source files after a successful copy (move)
- -c - clone date/protection-bits/comment
-
-
- Example:
-
- We have two files in our download directory:
-
- MTM_1.1.lha
- MTM_1.1.readme
-
- We set: MoveToMirror download: download:Aminet/ -v -d -c
-
- The MTM will then search for .readme files and search for a 'type:' field.
- If found it will try to lock the Download:Aminet/disk/misc. If the dirs
- aren't found MTM will create the directories and copies the two files into
-
- download:Aminet/disk/misc/
-
- The verbose output will look like this:
-
- > MoveToMirror.readme -> disk/misc (mkdir) (mkdir) - Moving - Ok!
-
- Note: The file *.lha is also moved/copied.
- The files can also end with anything else than *.lha.
-
- Since we use the '-c' option it will also clone the date, protection bits and
- the comment (if any).
-
-
- MTM does error checking in most cases so you will get message in verbose mode
- and more fatal errors in non-verbose mode as well.
-
- Readme files that doesn't have the type line will be left in the download
- directory untouched with owner file.
