[Tool] xFTPconvert

[tim619]

This little python script will rename all contents of a given folder to have less equal 42 symbols in the name so they can be transfered directly on ftp.

Note: Don't use the script on games, obviously that wouldn't work. Also on music files the m3u playlist wouldn't fit anymore.
There is no problem running the script multiple times on same folder it will only handle on lengths>42

To run the script open a console/terminal and type:

Code: Select all

python C:\path\to\xFTPconvert.py

Update: The script assumes you are putting it in the folder you want to run through, so If you have your folder on C:\Movies put the script inside C:\Movies and it will run over all files and folders within this directory. (Of course this should also work on Linux and Mac)

Save as xFTPconvert.py or download attached :

Code: Select all

			length = len(filename)# needed, otherwise if checked directly python thinks of an array of files...

				#print(fixedfile)
				os.rename(root+"\\"+filename,root+"\\"+fixedfile)
	#Now all files are good and we do the same run again on folder names...
	for root, dirs, files in os.walk(FilesPath): #why this way? because its MUCH easier!

Update: Hopefully fluent and final version. Fixed if file/folder exists which appears on rom renaming. Added clever renaming keyword and last but not least setting a folder name is now automated by putting the script inside the folder.

Works fine on my Mac thank you.

Your welcome, good to hear that it's working for someone, too
(Should by the way work on both python 2.x and 3.x)
