Export files from local filesystem

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Hello,
First of all, thank you for your work !

I try to use it in a specific way and it works great :
As a general practitioner doctor, new patients often come with their medical files from their previous doctor on a USB key.
As I cannot trust their key to plug it in the doctor's computer, I use SASUSB on a specific computer, which then send the files on a specific samba-shared folder on a file server.
I used to use CIrclean, but doesn't seem to be alive anylonger, USBSAS works great.

But there is another thing I would like to do, and I did not find a way by modifying the config.toml file:
it's the other way around : a patient is leaving, and would like his medical files from us to his USB key.

I can export the files to a folder accessible from USBSAS computer, but then, how can I tell him to copy it on a USB key as a destination ? (in this case, no need to analyse the data, a copy would be enough)

Is it possible just by modifying the config.toml ?

Thanks again!

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback !

I'm afraid exporting local files is not possible for now. It is however a valid use case so we might add this option in the future.

Thank you.
I read more carefully the docs about USBSAS and think I understand why : it doesn't manage USB keys in a "classic" way, but uses its own process to interact with filsystems, for reading and writing ?

If I can help (mostly for testing I guess, as my competences are mostly "basic sysadmin" 's ), don't hesitate to ask.
(I can also translate in french...)

yes, exactly

Thank you, I'll let you know !
