Hello All,
Currently I’m running SFTP from my Seedbox to my Plex server (Ubuntu) via a Windows 10 machine with SMB. It’s fine, though a little slow. The speed I can deal with, but I was hoping to automate this process. Are there any decent, free FTP clients out there that can periodically search my seedbox for new files and automatically upload them to my Plex server? Is there a better way than using SFTP?
This is my first run at this and I’m looking for any insight you folks may have to offer. The goal here is to be able to make a request in Ombi and have it appear in my Plex without any interaction when the transfers complete.
Side note: I’m so happy to have found this community. I’ve gained so many insights already.
resilio or syncthing.
You can leverage scheduled tasks to execute a command that would sync your SFTP. I don’t know what that is on PC, but there must be something like Cron for Windows. I’m on my phone right now, but feel free to dm me for help. Maybe we can trade plex invites.
That should be easy enough to do with a cron job. What OS is your seedbox running?
If you are regularly syncing things you should set up sonarr/radarr. If you use these to organize your library and perform your downloads (using prowlarr/jackett/rss as an indexer). The *arr apps would be hosted locally and you’d connect your seed box download client to them. More information can be found in the docs for each, but the *arr apps would perform a file copy/move after the download completes. Then Plex would just pick that stuff up automatically along the way
