Syncs folders into IPFS's mutable file system (the directory structure accessible through ipfs files). Despite the name, FTP2MFS is capable of reading from FTP, HTTP directory listings, rsyncd, and the local filesystem. Beware: ftp2mfs can be used to easily mirror several 100 GB in a few hours, and keep them in sync with upstream and on the local IPFS node. IPFS is not necessarily able to keep that much content available to the network from one node, see hyperprov for an explanation and a solution.

Features

  • All source types have their advantages and drawbacks
  • Efficient sync with full metadata
  • Proper standardized protocol for listing directories and transferring files
  • FTPs not supported (it is supported by the underlying library and would be easy to implement)
  • Support may be added for parsing some of the most common human directory listing formats
  • It might be nice to parse modification dates and file sizes from HTML directory listings
