Sean,<br>
<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 pickup if you
don't have the unique claimID and passcode for each of the
10 drop-offs?</p>

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>

<p>Is anyone using the AutoPickUp Script? Any
documentation on the use of the script or examples.
Trying to move the files uploaded from the ZendTo
server to a Windows server.<br>
