Batchput transfers files from a local directory, matching the regex you specify, to an URL (FTP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, or anything else supported by PycURL / cURL). Written in Python, it is primarily intended to transfer "incoming" files continually to another host by being called regularly from crontab or similar. It focuses on doing this safely and efficiently by using per-directory locking to avoid collisions between different batchput processes, allowing configuration of notification in case of error (email by default, but can be any shell command/script/program), and moving transfered files to a local backup location where they can be archived or simply deleted.
Batchput was originally written as a tool to transfer text files containing business transactions from one system to another. With this in mind, it is not a useful tool for doing things like mirroring a directory structure etc. If that's what you want to do, there are many other good programs out there that will probably perform better.
