Script Creating Hardlinks on Remote Server

[SoonerLater]

@Rednoah

I only ask this after spending an hour trying to find the answer on the forums (which I'm sure is there somewhere, but I can't find it).

Goal: have a script / batch (AMC?) run over a source directory on a cloud server (e.g. ~/private/deluge/data/movies) and create hardlinks for all of the files newer than [variable date/time] that the script / batch finds, with the hardlinks to be saved in another directory on the same cloud server (~/private/plex/plexmedia/movies).

Problem: some of the content in the source directory will be individual files at the top level (e.g. ~/private/deluge/data/movies/star.wars.1977.randomtext.mkv), but some will be in subdirectories (e.g. ~/private/deluge/data/movies/raiders.of.the.lost.ark.1981.randomtext/raiders.of.the.lost.ark.1981.randomtext.mkv).

I can only access the remote server via an FTP client and terminal. I have not installed Filebot on the remote server, but I assume that's possible. I don't need this script to be called by a torrent client or run at intervals (Chron), but that ability would be a plus. I'd be happy to just be able to use terminal to login to the server and run the script / batch.

Thank you for your patience. Feel free to tell me to go read the example which already exists (but I can't find).

I'd start by installing filebot on the remote server, and playing with the amc script. That's because you can't create hard links remotely via FTP.


The first step is to install FileBot on your remote server.


Goal: Do you want your files to be processed FileBot-style? Or just create hardlinks, and nothing else, such as movie/episode detection/renaming?
