Script for creating a diskdir compatible *.lst file

[marlar]

I need a script that I can execute on a remote server to generate a *.lst file I can open with TC and use as a basis of directory sync.

It should not be too difficult to make, but I would like to ask if something like is already done?

I have looked at the list file and it seems to be pretty simple with file properties separated by tabs, one file on each line.

As far as I can see, the plugin first lists all regular files in a directory, then in turn traverses into the subdirectories.

It that right or is the algorithm different?

Here is a stand-alone tool out of TC:

Thanks for the suggestions, but you are misunderstanding my need.

I am looking for a way to create the file list without TC, not to read it.

The idea is this:

I want to mirror my local folder to a remote folder on a remote machine. Only a few files are changed, but which? I could synchronize over ftp, but the folder contains very many files and subfolders so it takes way to much time just for TC to tell which files need to be synced.

So if I could create a file list on the remote server using say php og python, I could download the file list and do a sync against the file list.

The I would know exactly which files to transfer.

I hope it is clear now.

There is a command line version of Diskdir Extended

No TC needed to run it.

It can work with lists, made with "DIR" command.

Ok, but can it convert the output from the dir command to a TC file list I can use to synchronize the folders?

I need to be able to synchronize the local and remote folder.

Yes. You should download and test it. Here is the forum-thread:
