python mSync.py -h
python mSync.py [-m (check|upload|download)] -l <local_dir> -u <midas_url> -e <midas_user_email> -a <midas_api_key> -f <midas_folder_id>
python mSync.py [--mode=(check|upload|download)] --localdir=<local_dir> --url=<midas_url> --email=<midas_user_email> --apikey=<midas_api_key> --folderid=<midas_folder_id>
| Short option | Long option | Argument | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| -h | --help | N/A | |
| -m | --mode | check OR upload OR download | running mode (if this option is not set, check is used as the default mode) |
| -l | --localdir | local_directory_path | local directory path (relative or absolute) |
| -u | midas_url | root url of the target Midas instance | |
| -a | --apikey | midas_api_key | Midas user's api key |
| -f | --folderid | midas_folder_id | target folder id of the Midas instance |
- Root url of the target Midas is http://msyncexmaple.com/midas
- The Midas user's email is nobody@nowhere.com and his api key is asdfasdfasd2#$fasdf@asdfas
- He wants to mirror the data from local direcotry ../msynctest/data to a folder (folder id is 12) in the target Midas
To check current synchronization status, the short option command line is
python mSync.py -m check -l ../msynctest/data -u http://msyncexmaple.com/midas -e nobody@nowhere.com -a asdfasdfasd2#$fasdf@asdfas -f 12
To mirror data from local directory to Midas folder, the long option command line is
python mSync.py --mode=upload --localdir=../msynctest/data --url=http://msyncexmaple.com/midas --email=nobody@nowhere.com --apikey=asdfasdfasd2#$fasdf@asdfas --folderid=12
