Any-File

Node.js library to copy files between several storage sources (ftp, http/https, s3, ssh, local, ...)

Getting Started

Please, follow next instructions to get a working copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. This is an unstable release. Please, don't use in production environments.

Prerequisities

You need to install nodejs >= 5.8.0 on your machine:

sudo apt-get install nodejs

Probably, library will work with older nodejs versions.

Installing

Please, execute next command to install package

npm install any-file

After that, include the module in your code:

var AnyFile = require('any-file');

Running the tests

To run tests, please execute

make test

All test use public files shared on internet. So, you have to find no problems when testing.

Samples

This module allow to copy files between different storage systems.

All queries begin with calling function from to define source file to copy

from("protocol://username:password@server/path/to/file")

and define destination with method to

to("protocol://username:password@server/path/to/file", callback)

Next protocols are accepted by the library:

  • ftp
  • http, https (only download)
  • scp
  • s3
  • local file system

Additionally, if no protocol schema is defined, local system is assumed.

You can compress and uncompress your files in all operations. Next are supported compression formats: zip, gzip. Please, take in consideration that some zip files could have wrong headers. In those cases, file will be renamed to final extension only.

Next sources are accepted by the library:

You can copy ftp file to local file system

var af = new AnyFile();
var fromFile ="ftp://anonymous:miemail%40gmail.com@speedtest.tele2.net/100KB.zip";
var toFile = "100KB.zip";
af.from(fromFile).to(toFile, function(err, res) {
	if (res) {
		console.log("File copied!");
	} else {
		console.log("File not copied!");
	}
});

Or http file with needed auth to local file system

var af = new AnyFile();
var fromFile = "http://anonymous:miemail%40gmail.com@speedtest.tele2.net/100KB.zip";
var toFile = "100KB.zip";
af.from(fromFile).to(toFile, function(err, res) {
	if (res) {
		console.log("File copied!");
	} else {
		console.log("File not copied!");
	}
});

Or copy from sftp to s3

var af = new AnyFile();
var fromFile = "sftp://demo:password@test.rebex.net:/readme.txt";
var toFile = "s3://AKIAIZHM3T2QFIRSVQ5A:gxxxYv+PuyihUrg0EqJ8U1C0pxBwxZGPO0U2DuhX@s3.amazon.com/any-file-us/readme.txt";
af.from(fromFile).to(toFile, function(err, res) {
	if (res) {
		console.log("File copied!");
	} else {
		console.log("File not copied!");
	}
});

Or copy from sftp to s3 gzipped file

var af = new AnyFile();
var fromFile = "sftp://demo:password@test.rebex.net:/readme.txt";
var toFile = "s3://AKIAIZHM3T2QFIRSVQ5A:gxxxYv+PuyihUrg0EqJ8U1C0pxBwxZGPO0U2DuhX@s3.amazon.com/any-file-us/readme.txt.gz";
af.from(fromFile).to(toFile, function(err, res) {
	if (res) {
		console.log("File copied!");
	} else {
		console.log("File not copied!");
	}
});

You can find more code samples on samples folder using accepted protocols (http, ftp, s3, scp and local). Please, check it out.
