[batch] sm plugins ftp (sftp) uploader

This CMD (batch) file allows you save a time if:

you are developing plugins
you need upload the same plugin on server again and again (after each local modification)

Purpose:
It automatically compile and upload smx file to FTP (using CURL or Putty) as soon as its timestamp is changed.
When you edit your .sp file press Ctrl + S and it will be compiled (in background) and uploaded in a second.
Alternatively, you can set to track only smx (compiled files).

Versions:
There are 2 version of uploader:

1.2 (for ftp only, using curl.exe)
1.3 (for both sftp and ftp, using pscp.exe (putty command line tool)).

Preparation:
1) (optional) Using Plugin-autoreload is highly recommended. See attached autoreload.zip (it is an optimized fork of original).
Compile it and place in server .../addons/sourcemod/plugins/ folder.

2) Download one of attached sm_upload_*.zip archive. Unpack.

3) Dependency:
- (for v.1.2 only) Download and place CURL.exe in the same folder.
- (for v.1.3 only) Install Putty
- Download local compiler: from here. Unzip it.

4) Edit "sm_upload.cmd" file (open in notepad: right mouse click => Edit).
Set correct path and settings here:

Code:

:: path to spcomp.exe of local compiler

set compiler=d:\dev\SourceMod\addons\sourcemod\scripting\spcomp.exe



:: server settings (in v.1.3)

set server=5.x.x.x

set port=22

set user=l4dserver

set pass=xxx

set servpath=/home/l4dserver/serverfiles/left4dead/



:: or this line (in v.1.2)

set ftp=ftp://user:[email protected]/left4dead/



:: Specify true if you want to upload source files (.sp) as well

set upload_source=false

Save.

How to use:
1) Edit "plugins.txt" file: add full paths to plugins (smx or sp) you want to track.
2) Run "sm_upload.cmd" file and minimize its window to tray every time you need uploader to work.

Alternatively:
You can add files for tracking by context menu (Right Button Mouse Click on any.sp or any.smx file => SendTo => "SM - Track for upload").
To install such menu:

create shortcut to "SM - Track for upload.cmd" file.
place that shortcut in SendTo folder. To find that folder: press Win + R and enter Shell:SendTo than press OK and paste shortcut there.

You are ready.
Good luck.

Compatibility: Windows Vista+.

Update
Now *.phrases.txt files are also supported.
