Copy directories

Can we copy directories and their files

[John Willing]

It's over 11 years, I found out that you can with a code fix in client/protocol.c.

To have tsunamid to be able to send multiple directories/files, launch it with:
tsunamid find . -type f -print

This will make all of the files from the find command available to download.

On the client, tsunami does not handle directories when passed as part of the file. I've updated the code in client/protocol.c aound line 222 (just above the Warning: overwriting...)
strcpy(local_directory, xfer->local_filename);
char * slash = rindex(local_directory, '/');
if ((slash != NULL) && (strlen(slash)>1)) {
*slash = '\0';
if (!access(local_directory, F_OK) == 0) {
printf("Warning: creating directory '%s'\n", local_directory);
status = mkdir(local_directory, 0777);
if (status != 0) {
printf("Error:%d creating directory '%s'\n", errno, local_directory);
}
}
}

/* try to open the local file for writing */
if (!access(xfer->local_filename, F_OK))
    printf("Warning: overwriting existing file '%s'\n", local_filename);

This will extract the directory path and create them if it does not exist.
Then call tsunami and provide the following command:
connect <host>
get *</host>

The above find command should have the back quote around it like
tsunamid find . -type f -print
