External Drive Index Manager Files

DRIVE MANAGER - Version 0.1 (BETA)

This is just a little tool I wrote for my company to manage all the files on our external hard drives.
It consists of two parts: One part is written on php and executed on a web server and the other part
is a small script for your local computers.

Currently there's only a Script for Mac OSX !!

##### What you need:
- Webserver with FTP access and PHP
- MySQL database


##### How to Install:

** Step 1: Configuration
Open config.php and replace <mysql host>, etc. with the information on your mysql database

On a Mac open DriveManager.app with the AppleScript-Editor and alter the lines at the bottom saying:
curl -T $FILE ftp://<user>:<password>@<host>; -> the information on your ftp server and
curl http://<your domain>/<your path>/ingestFileList.php?fname=$FILE; -> the path to ingestFileList.php
(for example: http://yourdomain.net/tools/DriveManager/ingestFileList.php?fname=$FILE;)

When your done Save the Script as an Application and make a .zip file of it. Name this file DriveManager.app.zip
(this is for the Download section of the DriveManager Web Interface)

** Step 2: Upload to FTP
Upload all the files from the DriveManager directory to a directory on your web server, including DriveManager.app.zip
(for example: http://yourdomain.net/tools/DriveManager/)

** Step 3: Adding HDD to DriveManager
When you want to add a new HDD to the index of DriveManager simply copy the DriveManager.app file to the root directory of
that HDD and start it by double clicking.
Starting that script should produce a file list that is then uploaded to your ftp server and added or updated in the mysql database.

** Step 4: Viewing Indexes
Open up a web browser and go to DriveManager directory (for example: http://yourdomain.net/tools/DriveManager/)
