Robocopy entire photo directory to NAS?

[cvp]

@margusch here, little quick and dirty, but tested, script

from   ftplib import FTP
from   objc_util import *
import photos

# get photos from NAS
user = 'admin'
pwd = '...'
ip = '192.168.0.47'
ftp = FTP(ip) # Connect NAS
ftp.encoding = 'utf-8'
ftp.login(user,pwd)
remote_folder = 'Photos/'
filesnas= ftp.nlst(remote_folder+'*')

# get photos from camera roll
for asset in photos.get_assets():
	fname = str(ObjCInstance(asset).valueForKey_('filename'))
	if (remote_folder+fname) not in filesnas:
		b = asset.get_image_data(original=False)	# file as io.BytesIO
		ftp.storbinary('STOR '+remote_folder+fname, b,blocksize=32768)
		print('sent:',fname)
									
ftp.quit() # Disconnect

I will try FileBrowser Pro and PhotoSync and if they are working fine I will go with one of that.

Compare the prices but if you know Python, you'll have a lot of fun with Pythonista for solving new ideas.

user = 'admin'
pwd = '...'
ip = '192.168.0.47'
ftp = FTP(ip) # Connect NAS
ftp.encoding = 'utf-8'
# …
ftp.quit() # Disconnect

with FTP(host='192.168.0.47', user='admin', passwd='…', encoding='utf-8') as ftp:

@ccc I didn't know that the quit was not mandatory. Anyway, nicer as usual.

[cvp]

@ccc thus, even ftp.login(..) is not necessary

encoding not a parameter of FTP.init, thus

from   ftplib import FTP
from   objc_util import *
import photos

with FTP(host='192.168.0.47', user='admin', passwd='...') as ftp:
	ftp.encoding='utf-8'
	# get photos from NAS
	remote_folder = 'Photos/'	
	filesnas= ftp.nlst(remote_folder+'*')
	# get photos from camera roll
	for asset in photos.get_assets():
		fname = str(ObjCInstance(asset).valueForKey_('filename'))
		if (remote_folder+fname) not in filesnas:
			b = asset.get_image_data(original=False)	# file as io.BytesIO
			ftp.storbinary('STOR '+remote_folder+fname, b,blocksize=32768)
			print('sent:',fname)

Python < 3.9 did not have an encoding parameter: https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/ftplib.html#ftplib.FTP but was added in Py3.9

@margusch: "build a application which gets triggered via shortcuts daily"

Good to note that it will (probably) not happen in the background on a locked device, so this would in effect be more like a reminder and an easier way for you to start the process.

I think that the shortcut runs in the background of a locked device (don't remember if I had tested) but if the shortcut launchs an app, this one would not, excepted perhaps if Pyto in background mode, not tested.

[cvp]

@mikael but perhaps could you SFTP a file to the NAS via the SSH action of shortcut....

[cvp]

@mikael I had tested background in locked device for this topic

[mikael]

@cvp, thanks, really nice if so. I remember some of my earlier attempts being somewhat hit and miss.

So far this is the code that I'm using uploading with Synology REST API. It works well until Pythonista crashes when uploading photos between 900-1000.

        """
