Passing mutliple commands in CLI

Help & Support
1

Hello, I have a system for the ftp now that generates a list of files to be uploaded.

Is there anyway to just pass a list of commands so they go to queue? I cant see any connector command, that I could pass 30 commands to? It just runs one at a time.

Copy FILE "C:\app-source\name\manifest.json" TO=@site-name\app\cache\name\
Copy FILE ... x

I guess make a button, but can a short cut be made to open the internal CLI box, then a way to connect a list of commands like | or &?

Thanks.

I just found this

Copy FILE D:\data\pic*.jpg "J:\image files\pic*.jpg" TO "E:\image store"

here, I will check it out. Thanks.

Yes that was it, already solved. Thanks.

Alternatively, add files to a collection, then copy them to the final destination, e.g.:

Copy CREATEFOLDER=coll://tobecopied

and

Copy coll://tobecopied\* TO=@site

Thankyou @lxp - I will check it out!

Is there any recommend tutorials or walkthroughsto get a handle on the basics of dopus you would suggest?

You have probably already found the tutorials section. Additionally, I would recommend the YouTube channels of Director Opus and @Darkuni. Even the older videos on Opus 10-12 are still worth watching.

Thankyou very much @lxp - I will make my way through the suggested resources. Appreciated.

Most kind of you - thanks so much. Many of my videos are in the Directory Opus Playlist on the channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMUleZkeN7g&list=PLMcmWOVaPtGmxhrZUr10C8PBb5DGVCnEv

Again, appreciate the nice words.

Ok I do have one more question about this.

A) Is it possible to make a shortcut to open the CLI directly with CLI set (not VB)
B) Is there away to past 15 ftp or copy commands, and state "newer only" for example, so all of them go to a list that is run one by one.

I figured out how to do a series of files in the same location in one command, but I can not automate the who process. I have a script that detects the local vs live, and creates the dopus commands for the outstanding FTP files for the web app. But I thought it would be nice if this could happen, a way to open CLI in one moment, and next pass the FTP/copy commands with the correct flags, so its all automated one after the other.

I have not got into buttons or scripts within the app. But if this can happen --> CLI open --> series of commands accepted in one enter with flags.

Anyhow you have all worked with Dopus for a long time, so maybe you can give insight into the best path, or if I should make a feature request.

Thankyou
