SCP latest files only

[Robert Rosebury]

Using the SCP task built into Bamboo, is it possible to only copy the latest files and folders over to the remote server?

[David S.]

Rafael is correct. Bamboo doesn't support this out of the box. To make things worse, the SCP function is much slower than using SCP from a modern distro.

I ended up using a Script task that looks like this:

echo "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Your key here -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----" | sed -e "s/- /-\n/" | sed -e "s/= /=\n/" | sed -e "2s/ /\n/g" > $HOME/tmpkey
chmod 0600 $HOME/tmpkey
SERVER=websrv1
rsync -avze "ssh -i $HOME/tmpkey" ${bamboo.build.working.directory}/ updateuser@$SERVER:/home/direct/prod/direct/
rm -f $HOME/tmpkey

HTH!

Hello Robert,

Thank you for your question.

Bamboo does not provide the option to select only the files and directories last modified/updated. This is something you will be required to provide to Bamboo.

You could, by using a Script task, track files and directories and copy them across to the remote server.

If you find this answer useful, I would kindly ask you to accept it so the same will be visible to others who might be facing the same issue you have inquired.

Thank you for your understanding.
