Uses a handful of small node tools to keep a directory sync relationship.
- fs-watch-tree: does a recurse fs.watch on a directory
- mkpath: for making every necessary folder in a path (i.e.
/foo/bar/baz/) - streams: read/write stream pipe for copying files
Recommend using rsync or something similar to bring the entire directory up to date, then directory-sync for watching your individual file saves.
You should only need one instance of receiver.js running. For now, each directory will need to have watcher.js running in it.
Receiver can be on any machine that you have http access to.
You'll want to use forever:
npm install -g forever
Simplest uses:
forever start script.js
forever stop script.js
forever stopall
The watch.js file is simply used to define a configuration object (just for readability) which calls the watcher module.
