Upload modified blog files with scp

2025-03-29

A simple bash script to update this blog using scp

Note

I have my web server aliased in ~/.ssh/config as "web"
so the remote folder is web:/folder

#!/bin/sh
+
+# blogsend : scp blog files to web server
+# usage    : blogsend hours (if not set default is 1 hour)
+# example  : blogsend 72 sends files modified over the past 3 days
+
+# folders
+rf=  #add your remote ssh folder here
+mf=  #add your local folder here
+cd $mf
+
+# test if option is sent
+if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then
+   HOURS=1;
+else
+  # test if option is a number
+  if [[ "$1" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then 
+    HOURS=$1;
+  else
+    HOURS=1;
+  fi  
+fi
+
+MINUTES=$(($HOURS*60))
+
+echo "Sending files modified in the past $HOURS hour(s)..."
+
+files=$(find * -path .tmp -prune -o -mmin -$MINUTES -type f) 
+for file in $files 
+do 
+   echo -ne "-> ";
+   scp -r "$file" "$rf/$file";
+done
+
+echo "Done."
+
+exit 0
