Features List¶
This page is for cataloguing all the exciting features of CFS_Manager.
Planned future features are discussed here
System Commands¶
After installing CFS_Manager, you should be able to run any of these in your shell/terminal/command-prompt
cfs-config
Starts the configuration flow for CFS_Manager, allowing the user to choose defaults and allow access to their preferred storage providers.
cfsm
orcfs-manager
Starts the CFS_Manager command line interface in the terminal window that is currently open.
cfs-do [command]
Initialises the virtual file system, performs the specified command, and then terminates. Allows the execution of one-off commands (such as downloading a specific file) without entering the embedded command line interface.
cfs-watch
Adds the current directory to the list of managed directories. Thus, its contents will be included any time a command to upload all managed files is given.
