Hi all,

can anyone recommand a dockerized tool, which downloads any file of a
given remote path for example via sftp and deletes it afterwards? It
should be stateful so downloads can be resumed and a UI would be
helpful, too.

context :
Im doing currently some automated file transfers from machine A to B
and the files are being pushed. Now i want to revert the whole thing
so that machine B pulls all files it can find on the given Path on
machine A.

​

Thanks for your help.

Why in docker?

Anyways...

Just build a dockerfile that executes like one rsync command...

    # Use an official base image with rsync installed
    FROM alpine:latest

    # Set the working directory inside the container
    WORKDIR /app

    # Install rsync
    RUN apk --no-cache add rsync

    # Copy the source file to the working directory inside the
container
    COPY source-file.txt .

    # Run the rsync command to delete the file from source
    CMD ["rsync", "--delete", "--remove-source-files", "source-
file.txt", "/path/to/destination/"]
    # Use an official base image with rsync installed
    FROM alpine:latest

    # Set the working directory inside the container
    WORKDIR /app

    # Install rsync
    RUN apk --no-cache add rsync

    # Copy the source file to the working directory inside the
container
    COPY source-file.txt .

    # Run the rsync command to delete the file from source
    CMD ["rsync", "--delete", "--remove-source-files", "source-
file.txt", "/path/to/destination/"]
