I'm need of some assistance

[Handler]

Greetings!

I don't really use EG for much other than there is an Android app named Tasker and a plugin into that app called AutoRemote that has a plugin in EG to handle some file transfers and other simple request.

Here's what I want to do! When I send photos from my phone(s)/tablet to my PC I'd like to be able to upload them to a hosted website of mine and then build a really quick photo gallery.

Here's the log for when I send photos from my phone to EG:

Code: Select all

Receiving file IMG_20150418_144745.jpg
Receiving file IMG_20150418_144802.jpg
System.Idle
Got communication of type: Message

This is a redirected message.
eg.event.payload.armessage: u'test'
eg.event.payload.arpar: [u'test']
eg.event.payload.files: [u'C:\\Users\\Dave\\AutoRemote-EventGhost\\IMG_20150418_144745.jpg', u'C:\\Users\\Dave\\AutoRemote-EventGhost\\IMG_20150418_144802.jpg']
eg.event.payload.sender:

	name: u"Dave's Nexus 5"
	url: u'goo.gl/******'
	localIp: None
	port: None
	tryLocalIp: False

If I can tell EG to start an FTP transfer with those file to the hosted website and maybe include the list of files in a text file. I can build a php script to handle all that on the other side. I just don't know how to make it happen in EG.

Good time to get my feet wet learning the other things EG can do! I hope somebody can show me the ropes and teach me on how to do this!

I really really really appreciate the help!

You can use Directory Watcher to trigger events.

You can use Directory Watcher to trigger events.

Could you give me a little bit more to go on? Where is this 'Directory Watcher?' Is it part of EG or is something on the outside all together?

Pretend I'm an absolute dummy. =)

No need to pretend.
