folder synchronization with vault using CLI?

[matzen]

Hi,

I'm setting up a synchronisation of a folder (home directory of an ftp server user) with VAULT. I have set a working directory for my vault folder "$/myfolder" to my harddisk folder "F:\ftp\LocalUser\user1", because the ftp user "user1" should upload his files to his ftp home directory (there are several users who login using the same ftp account).

I want to run the synchronization automatically at night. The users uploading to this directory should NOT know anything about vault running in the background.

I can check in completely "$/myfolder" using -keepcheckedout to allow the ftp users to change the files just after the checkin.

My problem #1: how can I add all new files and folders recursive to vault?
My problem #2: how can I delete all deleted files and folders recursive from vault?

Is there already something like "synchronize" in the command line client?

Thanks,
Sven

There is nothing built into the Command Line Client (CLC) which would do this, you would have to use some scripting or a custom app to prepare results for use within the CLC.

My problem #1: how can I add all new files and folders recursive to vault?

If you could get a copy of the directory listing at point A, and then a directory listing at point B, you could compare the two. Any files in the listing at point B not found in point A, you would use the ADD command to create change set items within the CLC.

My problem #2: how can I delete all deleted files and folders recursive from vault?

Same steps as above, but you would have to compare the listing at point B against point A. For the files/folders found in A which are not in B's listing, you would need to create DELETE change set items within the CLC.
