FTPGrab v3 to v4

To upgrade from v3 to v4 you have to move some files and rename the config and hash file to a custom name like seedbox.conf in the below example.

# Move to /opt
mv /etc/ftp-sync /opt
cd /opt/ftp-sync/

# Create required folders
mkdir conf
mkdir hash

# Move files
mv ftp-sync.conf conf/seedbox.conf
mv ftp-sync.txt conf/seedbox.txt

# Download the latest script and dist config
wget https://raw.github.com/ftp-sync/ftp-sync/master/ftp-sync.sh -O /etc/init.d/ftp-sync --no-check-certificate
chmod +x /etc/init.d/ftp-sync
wget https://raw.github.com/ftp-sync/ftp-sync/master/ftp-sync.conf -O /opt/ftp-sync/ftp-sync.conf --no-check-certificate

# Rename log files
cd /var/log/ftp-sync/
for FILENAME in *; do mv $FILENAME seedbox-$FILENAME; done

Next you will have to edit your config file /opt/ftp-sync/conf/seedbox.conf :

• Remove lines starting with LOGS_DIR=, PID_FILE= and HASH_DIR=
• Add a new line before EMAIL_LOG= with DIR_DEST="/tmp/seedbox" (replace /tmp/seedbox to your destination folder)
• Add a new line after DL_RESUME= with DL_SHUFFLE=0

If you have a cron, do not forget to replace the argument to the config file of your choice :

0 4 * * * cd /etc/init.d/ && ./ftp-sync seedbox.conf >/dev/null 2>&1
