File Monitoring #2306
Comments
I haven't looked at the source for Cyberduck yet but I am assuming it is in Objective-C. I found a FSEvent (file system events) wrapper for the OS 10.5 FSEvents API here ... http://stuconnolly.com/blog/archive/2008/05/08/fsevents-objectivec-wrapper/ Essentially the filesystem would tell Cyberduck when a file has changed, then Cyberduck could do its thing according to how the user set it up to upload the files. |
dkocher, thank you for accepting this feature request, I would like to help in anyway I can. I am new to obj-c. I have started playing with the wrapper I linked to earlier a bit. I have determined the actions that will be necessary for this to work, I just don't have all the code yet (working on it).
There is another library called UKKQueue that will notify with the specific file (http://www.zathras.de/programming/cocoa/UKKQueue.zip/, which may be better to use in this instance. I haven't played with this one yet so I can't provide any more details as of yet. Please contact me if you would like my help. Thanks |
I have previously started to work with UKKQueue but never brought it into a finished state. Have a look at |
I tested the functionality implemented in 564d0f0 (been able to edit any kind of file in any external editor) but I don't agree that it's what was been asked for in this ticket. I don't find the feature that will allow you to sync an entire folder and upload any changes automatically at the same moment that they are made. That what I think was the description of this ticket and I would find it extremely useful. Sorry if I shouldn't have reopen this ticket, I find it more appropriate than creating a new ticket. |
I'd also like to vote on this feature. I work as a web programmer and in simple cases I keep local 1:1 copy of website I'm working on on my hard drive. Doing ANY action after every edit of some file wastes much time, that's why I was looking for some automatic sync feature. I've spent whole evening looking for a FTP client that implement that function properly on Mac. The only one app that implemented it was YummyFTP, but this app isn't on par with other FTP clients, and it also doesn't work very well (it has a delay between modifying file and uploading it, it probably checks for changes periodical, instead of using FSEvents). So if Cyberduck implemented it, I would be very happy :). |
Vote from me too, any movement on this? |
Would love this feature. It's annoying if you got shared hosting and you want to use git for your projects... |
Refer to Synchronize Folders in general without monitoring. |
We are planing to implement synchronize and upload transfers that allow to continue watching for changes after the initial upload is complete. |
Please refer to Watching changes in directory with fswatch and upload for how to use Cyberduck CLI for such a workflow with fswatch. |
So thats it? Not working in the version with interface? Is there any simple documentation on how to use monitoring and sync? |

A great feature that seems to be missing from most transfer clients is the ability to keep the remote side of a connection up to date with what is in the local side. By allowing a user to specify a folder to watch and the upload the files with changes allows users to be working on a project and allow the changes to automatically replicate. This makes working on websites easier where the development server where testing is done, isn't on the machine the users is on.
The only application that I have ever seen implement this correctly is WinSCP, unfortunately it is a windows application. :(
Summary: A feature to allow the user to select a folder and it be watched recursively for changes, any change that happens (update, deletion, creation, etc ..) gets uploaded via the protocol the user specified to the destination specified. Thanks!
