Sean,<br>
<br>
I've written the script for you. It will be in
/opt/zendto/bin/autolist. Run it without any command-line parameters
to see the usage. It will dump a huge JSON structure as its output.
If you pipe its output through the "jq" command, it will be nicely
laid out for you.<br>
And see<br>
zend.to/automation.php<br>
to learn about the automation scripts in general, and what you need
to configure before you can use them.<br>
<br>
This will be in the next beta release, which will probably happen
tomorrow now.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>

<p>I thought about the risk as well. We are more interested in
automating the process, so yes another "autolist" script that
dumped the details of every single drop-off in the system would
be useful. We will use firewall rules and permissions to
restrict the access.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Again Thanks for your assistance.</p>

<br>
Would another "autolist" script that dumped the details of
every single drop-off in the system, as 1 big JSON structure,
do what you need?<br>
<br>
Then you can use your own code to search the data for the
drop-offs you're looking for, get the ClaimID and Passcode of
the relevant ones, then use "autopickup" to download them.<br>
<br>
Having that script exist at all is risky, in my view, as it
gives anyone who gets access to it "the keys to the castle
vault". But then again if, like most people, you're using
SQLite3 then it's just saving a hacker the step of working out
how the DB schema works. Which would take someone competent
about 10 minutes. It's very simple and obvious.<br>
<br>
Let me know if that would be a good solution for you.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>

<p>We are basically looking to have our students drop
documents off and don't want the staff to have to go to
their email click on the link to ZendTo, then download the
file, then place it in the folder where it has to go. We
want o have an automated process to check for any
documents a student may have dropped off every 10
minutes. Pick them up and put them in the necessary
folder on the server.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for any help you can provide.</p>

<p>Each Drop-off has a different claimID and passcode so
if you have 10 drop-offs how can you automate the

Before using any of the scripts, you need to create
a user that will be only used for driving the
automation scripts of ZendTo. Don't use a real
user's account, create one just for the purpose.<br>
Put that username in the 'automationUsers' setting
in preferences.php.<br>
<br>
For this example, let's set a few things:<br>
- The automation user is going to have the username
"<tt>robot</tt>" with a password of "<tt>machines</tt>".<br>
- The claimID and passcode of the drop-off will be "<tt>aaaClaimIDaaa</tt>"
and "<tt>bbbPasscodebbb</tt>".<br>
- The address of your ZendTo site will be "<tt><a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://your-zendto-site.com/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://your-zendto-site.com/</a></tt>".
The site address always goes at the very end of the
command, after all the other options.<br>
<br>
To see the command-line usage:<br>
<tt> /opt/zendto/bin/autopickup --help</tt><br>
<br>
Fetch information about the drop-off, without
downloading anything:<br>
<tt> /opt/zendto/bin/autopickup --username
"robot" --password "machines" --claimid
"aaaClaimIDaaa" --passcode "bbbPasscodebbb" --list
--nofiles
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://your-zendto-site.com/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://your-zendto-site.com/</a></tt><br>
<br>
Fetch all the files in the drop-off to the current
directory, verifying their checksums, and logging
that they were picked up by
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="mailto:user@yourdomain.com"
moz-do-not-send="true">"user@yourdomain.com"</a>:<br>
<tt> /opt/zendto/bin/autopickup --username
"robot" --password "machines" --claimid
"aaaClaimIDaaa" --passcode "bbbPasscodebbb"
--checksum --pickedupby
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="mailto:user@yourdomain.com"
moz-do-not-send="true">"user@yourdomain.com"</a></tt><tt>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://your-zendto-site.com/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://your-zendto-site.com/</a></tt><br>
<br>
Fetch all the files in the drop-off to the directory
"/var/tmp/downloads", not bothering with checksums
or logging who did it:<br>
<tt> /opt/zendto/bin/autopickup --username
"robot" --password "machines" --claimid
"aaaClaimIDaaa" --passcode "bbbPasscodebbb"
--output "/var/tmp/downloads"</tt><tt>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://your-zendto-site.com/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://your-zendto-site.com/</a></tt><br>
<br>
The output of the "--list --nofiles" command above
will give you a unique "fileid" number for each of
the files in the drop-off. So let's download file
number 123, verify its checksum and save it to the
file "~/Downloads/my-picked-up-file":<br>
<tt> /opt/zendto/bin/autopickup --username
"robot" --password "machines" --claimid
"aaaClaimIDaaa" --passcode "bbbPasscodebbb" --file
123 --checksum --output
"~/Downloads/my-picked-up-file"</tt><tt>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://your-zendto-site.com/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://your-zendto-site.com/</a></tt><br>
<br>
If you are using a locally-signed SSL certificate on
your ZendTo server, you may need to add the option<br>
<tt> --insecure</tt><br>
to all of the above examples.<br>
<br>
To see the "curl" command it creates, which is what
does all the work, but not actually run anything,
add the option<br>
<tt> --debug</tt><br>
to any of the above examples.<br>
<br>
Does that help?<br>
<br>
The point of me using "curl" is that all the script
really does is create all the parameters for an HTTP
POST request to your ZendTo server, and then pull
out the JSON results from the right header in the
returned data. The "<tt>--debug</tt>" option will
help you understand what it's doing.<br>
<br>
Once you have played with it a bit, take a look how
the script works (90% is just parsing the
command-line!) and you will see how you could use a
.Net http request to achieve the same result with
your own code running on a Windows server.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>
