Copy File to Remove Server

[jussij]

1. Download the pscp.exe found here: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgt ... atest.html

Place that executable in this folder:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\<Your User Id>\AppData\Local\Programs\Zeus\zGNU

From inside Zeus use the Tools, DOS Command Line menu to run this command:

Code: Select all

pscp  -h

That command should produce this output:

2. This utility can be used to save a file to a remote server using the following command line:

Code: Select all

pscp  file_name user@host:/path/to/whereyouwant/thefile

The following Zeus macro can be be used to save the current file to the remote server.

Code: Select all

--
--        Name: Save File to Remote Host
--
--    Language: Lua Macro
--
-- Description: This macro will uses the pscp.exe tool to copy the current file to a remote host.
--
--              Refer to the sections marked with NOTE: as these will need to be configured to suit.
--
--              The macro can be run direction on an active file using the Macros menu or it can also be bound
--              to a keyboard key combination an run using those keys.
--
--              Finally the macro can be defined as a trigger which means it will run any time a file is saved.
--
--              To configure this macro for all document types, use the Options, Default Document Type menu and
--              attach the macro to the "File Save Prefix" trigger option. (e.g.)
--
--                 Options|Default Document Type...|Triggers|File Save Prefix = $zud\zScript\pscp_exec.lua
--
--              With this setting in place the macro will be run for all documents with all file extensions.
--
--              To configure this macro, for a particular document type, use the Options, Trigger Options menu
--              and attach the macro to the "File Save Prefix" trigger option. (e.g.)
--
--                 Options|Trigger Options...|File Save Prefix = $zud\zScript\pscp_exec.lua
--
--              With this setting in place the macro will only run for file extensions defined in the General
--              section of the document type.

local utils = require "utils"

function key_macro()
   -- macro only works for read/write documents.
   if (is_read_only() == 1) or (is_document() == 0) then

            beep()
        end
     return
   end

   -- NOTE: The user id and password for user athentication. Note that
   --       it's not a good idea to include the password in the script
   --       file. A much better option would be to use private/public
   --       keys for the authentication.
   local userid   = "userid"
   local password = "password"

   -- NOTE: The host address and target folder
   local host = "127.0.0.1"
   local target_folder = "/test/"

   local arguments = ""

   -- NOTE: These options can be used to increase or decrease the debug output.
   --       arguments = arguments .. "-v" .. " "  -- increases the output
   arguments = arguments .. "-q -batch" .. " "    -- reduces the output

   -- NOTE: The are the other pscp.exe command line  options

   arguments = arguments .. "-pw " .. password .. " "
   arguments = arguments .. macro_tag("$F") .. " "
   arguments = arguments .. userid .. "@".. host .. ":"
   arguments = arguments .. target_folder;

   -- NOTE: Use debug flag to help debug the command line
   -- utils.DEBUG = 1

   local executable = "pscp.exe";
   local filename   = ""  -- NOTE: The filename is passed in as an argument above
   local directory  = macro_tag("$FDD")

   -- NOTE: The pscp.exe is run using a compiler output window which
   --       means it will only display an output window only if some
   --       output is produced.
   utils.run_compiler(executable, filename, directory, arguments, 2)
end

key_macro() -- run the macro

This macro can be bound to a keyboard key, the macros menu or used as a post file save trigger so the file is pushed to the server each time the file is saved.
