Project Summary
File Conveyor is a daemon written in Python to detect, process and sync files. It was written by Wim Leers as part of his bachelor thesis at Hasselt University in Belgium.
To allow for instantaneous detection of changes on the file system, it uses inotify on Linux and FSEvents on Mac OS X.
Files can then be processed. Processors include:
-image_optimizer, capable of optimizing images without losing quality
- yui_compressor, to compress CSS and JS files using the YUI Compressor
- …
And finally, “transporters” are used to transport files from the server the daemon is running on to the CDN.
Transporters include:
- FTP
- Amazon S3
- Amazon CloudFront
- Mosso CloudFiles
