# rfstools
Remote file system tools for data manipulation between remote and local host (cp, mv, ls, rm,..) written in Python3. 
This package provides you executables `pcp`, `pls`, `pmv`,..., which enables you to do painless data operations on remote/between remote and local host using SFTP/FTP/FTPS/SMB12(SMB version 1 or 2)/SMB23(SMB version 2 or 3)/FS(local file system) protocols.

Furthermore, you can enable data re-encoding during data transfer (CRLF/LF and character re-encoding). 


## Installation
The `rfstools` tool can be installed using `pip` from [the PyPI public registry](https://pypi.org/project/rfstools/).

    pip install rfstools


## Documentation
The documentation can be found in autogenerated repository [rfstools-docs](https://gitlab.com/rfs4/rfstools-docs).


## Configuration
Arguments can be passed to `rfstools` commands in multiple ways - configuration file, environment variable, and standard command line argument.

If an argument is specified in more than one place, then the
command line argument overrides the environment variable which overrides the config file
value which overrides the default value.

Arguments that start with '--' can be set in a config file -
/etc/rfstools.conf or ~/.rfstools.conf or specified via -c. Config file
syntax allows: key=value, flag=true, stuff=[a,b,c] (for details, see syntax at
https://goo.gl/R74nmi). 

Details about concrete commands can be found in [rfstools-docs/commands](https://gitlab.com/rfs4/rfstools-docs/-/tree/master/commands?ref_type=heads).


## Examples
In further subchapters, there are examples of solving some of the basic tasks using this tool. Only the first chapter contains the configuration file setup...in the others, it can be done analogically.

### Copy a file from a SMB2 server to the local host
First of all, we need to set up the configuration file.

    cat > /some-path/rfstools.conf << EOF
    connection-type=SMB12
    
    # For SMB we always need to say, which remote folder we use.
    service-name=special-folder

    host=speciserver-smb.cz
    username=speciman

    password=mysecret

    EOF

After that, we set up an environment variable `RFSTOOLS_CONFIG`, so the tool knows, which configuration file should it use.

    export RFSTOOLS_CONFIG=/some-path/rfstools.conf

Finally, we run

    pcp r:/some-path2/file ./

### Downloading all files from remote folder /etc ending with .conf

    pcp r:/etc/*.conf ./

### Listing all subfolders in some folder

    pls r:/some-path/*/

### Recursive copying of remote folder to local

    pcp -r r:/folder ./

### Moving all remote temporary files in /tmp to local host tmp

    pmv r:/tmp/* /tmp

### Cross-copying (using local and remote files) to the remote host

    pcp r:/file1 /file2 r:/target-folder

### Deletion of all remote files (with directories) ending with .tmp

    prm -r r:/**/*.tmp

### Copying greped files to the local host

    pls -p r:/some-path | grep "^.*/SOME_REGEX$" | xargs pcp -t /target-folder 

### Recoding from CRLF to LF while copying from remote host to local host

    export RFSTOOLS_REMOTE_CRLF=TRUE
    pcp -X r:/crlf-file ./lf-file

### Recoding from local UTF8 file to UTF16 remote encoding while copying
    
    export RFSTOOLS_REMOTE_ENCODING=UTF16
    pcp -X ./utf8-file r:/utf16-file
