Mover - A Linux SSH Moving Tool

Mover is a command-line tool that allows programmers to transfer files between Linux servers through SSH. This tool simplifies moving files from one server to another while eliminating the need for manual file transfers.

Features

• Easy and fast file transfer over SSH.
• Recursive transfer for moving entire directories.
• Ability to exclude specific files or directories from the transfer.
• Allows for transferring files to or from a remote server.

Requirements

• Linux operating system
• Bash shell
• SSH client and server
• Tar utility

Installation

To install Mover, you can simply download the script file from the GitHub repository:

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/username/mover/main/mover.sh

Make the script file executable:

$ chmod +x mover.sh

And move the script file to a location specified in your system's PATH environment variable:

$ sudo mv mover.sh /usr/local/bin/mover

Usage

To transfer a file between two servers, use the following command:

$ mover SOURCE_FILE DESTINATION_SERVER:DESTINATION_PATH

For example, to transfer a file named example.txt to a server with an IP address of 192.168.1.100 in the /home/user/files directory, the command would be:

$ mover example.txt 192.168.1.100:/home/user/files

To transfer an entire directory, use the -r option:

$ mover -r SOURCE_DIRECTORY/ DESTINATION_SERVER:DESTINATION_PATH/

To exclude specific files or directories, use the --exclude option:

$ mover --exclude="*.log" SOURCE_DIRECTORY/ DESTINATION_SERVER:DESTINATION_PATH/

Conclusion

Mover is a simple yet powerful tool that simplifies file transfer between Linux servers through SSH. It's a great tool for programmers who need to move files between servers regularly. Mover is open-source, so contributions are always welcome.
