FTM: File Tree Move
|
About
FTM reliably and unambiguously moves a tree of files from one place to another, by default doing a bytewise comparison after copying each file.
For now, FTM does not support moving files that only match some criterion (e.g. file mask); tentatively, that can be done better by using FTI and FCC, or maybe FTS (if I actually end up writing that).
Options
| name | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | long | short | meaning |
| ftm | -dd | --do-delete | delete each file from source after copying |
| ftm | -io | --info-only | don't actually copy; just show what would happen |
| spider | --list-found=<params> | -lf=<params> | list all items found according to the rules in <params>, which is formatted like "<name>=<value>:<name>=<value>":
|
| base | --config-file=<config spec> | -cf=<config spec> | name of config file to load instead of the default |
| base | --show-progress | -sp | update a line on the screen to show current activity |
Command
ftm [<options>] <source folder> <target folder>
FTM uses the spidering options.
Future
- v0.6 is in progress
