I have started developing a Linux client for SugarSync. At the moment there is no client, so I am using there new API system to build a client for Linux users. This is currently in early alpha stages, Currently things i've done are:
- Authorization
- Get user info (disk usage/etc)
- Get initial folder names
- Recursively Download (with progress meter) / Create (locally) all folders / files if they don't exist
- notify-send integration for file download completion
- File last modified checks before re-downloading a file
- File / folder uploads
- iNotify - used to detect file changes (files moved in/changed/deleted0
In Progress:
- File Rename - Working within the same directory
- File Deletion - Deleted files will be visible in the "Deleted Items" folder on the server, allowing for undo
- Fixing lingering bug with parent folders
On the todo list is:
- Bug testing
- Code Cleanup
- Extensive Testing
This list is not extensive and will grow.
UPDATE
I have uploaded an ALPHA release onto github now:
https://github.com/markwillis82/Sugar-Sync-Linux-Client
Just for initial testing and hopefully drive me to get it finished. I've been incredibly busy recently but now giving some more time to this project. So will see some updates soon. (just got to get used to github.
UPDATE - 14/12/2010
I have updated git (eventually) with a few updates...
Now if we cannot connect to the database it exits gracefully (thanks to Russell for testing that one) and also a safety feature - When a file is "deleted" it is now moved to the "deleted files" folder on the sugarsync web directory.
