sendFiles Files

INSTALLATION

I. Client Side
    1. Be sure that PHP is installed as command line tool on the client side
       and has curl extension
    2. Put the "send" directory where you want it installed
    3. Configure the "config_sendFiles.php" variables according to your
       environment

II. Server Side
    1. You will need an HTTP server running with PHP
    2. Put the "receive" directory wherever you want on the server
    3. Configure the "config_receive.php" variables according to your
       environment

GENERAL USAGE
=============

On the command line on the client side:

prompt> php sendFiles.php dir_to_be_sent

At the end of execution a file called YYYYMMDD-log.txt will be on the
current directory. YYYY will be the 4 digits of current year. MM the 2
digits of current month and DD 2 the 2 digits of current day. Its
possible to monitor the log file during execution.

USAGE ON UNIX
=============

To monitor the progress of the log file:

prompt> tail -f AAAAMMDD-log.txt

To interrupt use Ctrl+C

Note 1: "php" must be on the path or you will have to specify the whole
        path to it.
Note 2: the 3 php files (class, config and program) must be where you
	will run the command. To avoid this and make it work from
	anywhere one option is to put a new first line on sendFiles.php
	like:

	#!/your/path/to/php

	This line will tell unix which executable must interpret this
	script.  Than you put sendFiles.php in some place to where your
	path points and make it executable with something like:

	prompt> chmod 755 sendFiles.php

	Then you would need either to edit sendFiles.php and put
	absolute paths to the config and class files or put them in your
	php include path.

USAGE ON WINDOWS
================

On a Windows environment you can monitor the log file with a program
like "Tail for Win32" (http://tailforwin32.sourceforge.net/). For the
impatient, a direct link to the zip file:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tailforwin32/files/Tail/4.2.12/Tail-4.2.12.zip/download

Note 1: "php" must be on the path or you will have to specify the whole
	path to it.
Note 2: the 3 php files (class, config and program) must be where you
	will run the command.
Note 3: I have tested with the PHP downloaded from
	http://windows.php.net/download/

	I dowloaded the zip file of VC6 version thread safe to use it on
	Win XP.

	With the zip you don't need to be administrator, as it will work
	from extracted path.

	I didn't put it on my path and it worked with something like:

	prompt> ..\..\php\php.exe sendFiles.php test_dir
