在SSH中按名称查找和替换文件或文件夹

Question

I have several websites on my hosting account. Due to the security layers in place I cannot use symbolic linking, or include from from account to account. However I am a set of scripts that are going to be the same account several accounts.

Rather than uploading these scripts to each individual ftp account every time a change is made I want to have a simple bash script that will do it for me.

So what I want to do via SSH is to search my hosting server for a specific directory by name, for example "ThisUniqueFolder", then upload and replace all the files within that directory with the updated versions of the files that are stored on my local server.

Keeping in mind that this directory "ThisUniqueFolder" will exist in several different locations throughout the hosting server.

Answer 1

You can use ssh to find all ThisuniqueFolder , then use rsync to update them all.

Use ssh 's -i identity_file to avoid password for user at remote_host .

#!/bin/bash
for f in `ssh -i /path/to/identity_file user@remote_host 'find /remote/search/directory -name "ThisUniqueFolder" -type d'`
do 
    rsync -avu -e 'ssh -i /path/to/identity_file' ThisUniqueFolder/ user@remote_host:$f
done
