Remote Asset Synchronisation Task
=================================

[](#remote-asset-synchronisation-task)

### Downloads files from a remote server running SilverStripe

[](#downloads-files-from-a-remote-server-running-silverstripe)

A task that downloads accessable files in assets/\* from a target server

Usefull when you want to update assets onto a development environment, without having to do a full file snapshot. It's usefull for large websites.

[![Comparing the two file lists](images/download1.png)](images/download1.png)[![Downloading in progress](images/download2.png)](images/download2.png)

### Installation

[](#installation)

- **composer require otago/remote-asset-download**
- Create a user that can read & write assets you want to sync on the target machine. This user is also used to run the task in CLI mode on the local machine.
- create your own yml **app/\_config/remoteassetssync.yml**
- update the **app/\_config/remoteassetssync.yml** with your new user's username and password, like the one below

```
---
Name: RemoteAssetTask
---
OP\RemoteAssetReadFilesController:
  target: https://website.where.filescomefrom
  user: myuserwithfilepermissions@website.org
  password: mysecretpassword
  ignore:
    - assets/studenthub/
    - assets/staffhub/

```

The user must exist in SilverStripe, and have access to assets. you can restrict the user to specific files and folders in the SilverStripe CMS.

### How to run it

[](#how-to-run-it)

Open up **/dev/tasks/OP-RemoteAssetTask** in your browser on the local machine.

You can also run it from the command line with

**vendor/silverstripe/framework/sake dev/tasks/OP-RemoteAssetTask**

### How it works

[](#how-it-works)

GraphQL

When you load the task via HTTP on the local machine, an ajax poll will ask your local machine to send a graphql request to the target server. This will return a list of files in assets. This result will then be passed back to your local machine, which will then bulk download these files from the target server.

### Notes

[](#notes)

- The task will stop when it starts running into files that have the same name & id.
- if a file has a different file and the same id, it will be overwritten
