The Transfer

This release adds the ability to actually transfer data from a remote system. For now the data gets stored in the locally accessible filesystem. But this will change in the next release where the storage location can be remote too.

Notes:

• the database format has changed again ... delete your old db

• every request gets a 'private' token now

• after creating a job on the web run

  ./bdass.pl jobrunner

  to do the pending work ... in a l8r the job runner will become a daemon.

• the filetransfer code is nonblocking, so it can process multiple longrunning transfers in paralell.

• there is now also a history table in the database showing changes to the jobs database

Next steps:

• remote transfer to destination host
• verification of archive at destination
• recording of files in archive
• more status reporting as transfers run

size does matter

added job_size to the database setup

Free Paths and Job sizing

• new jobs can now be located in arbitrary locations on the traget host
• the bdass.pl jobrunner command will run du on all jobs and update the database accordingly

look! remote folders are here!
