Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.(sorry for the ton of submitted issues lately)
Was curious if there was a way to mass export all files (download them all at once, maybe in a zip or something)? With the way bitcache stores the files, you can't even ftp them off the server. Any solutions?
Thanks

miglius commentedAll feedback is appreciated.
Bitcache (http://bitcache.org/) has a command line sync functionality which could be used to sync several remote repositories.

justin.hopkins commentedSyncing repositories is great, but I think what the average user (read: me) needs is an export function that would preserve the file names and directory structure maintained by FileFramework.
Perhaps symlinks could be used in the case of multiple taxonomy terms for a given bitstream, with the actual data being stored according to the lowest nodeID.

miglius commentedYou could use a File Relations Server for this. Just mount locally a DAV resource and you can copy over all the files with the names and folders preserved.

justin.hopkins commentedThat sounds like a pretty good solution...I should have thought of that...

chrisyates commentedIn case anyone else needed to do a bulk export from Bitcache/FileFramework, on a one-off basis, here's how I did it.
I didn't want to install any extra modules (and File Relations Server has several dependencies), so I created a RSS feed in Views and wrote a quick and dirty python script to download all the files from that feed. Both are in the attached file.
Import the view from exportmeview.txt, then run the script as
python getfiles.py http://your.feed.url /path/to/local/directory-chris
