Switch FTP Sync (macOS / Windows)

Overview

Switch FTP Sync is an app that monitors an FTP server for Nintendo Switch screenshots as well as specified directories and downloads them to a local directory. The script is designed to work across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Features

  • Connects to an FTP server and checks for new files in specified directories.
  • Downloads new screenshots to a local directory.
  • Logs all actions with timestamps.
  • Clears terminal lines for a clean and readable output.

Requirements

  • Computer running macOS or Windows 10/11.
  • Python 3.x (for building)
  • FTP server accessible with the necessary credentials
    • Requires sys-ftpd or a similar background FTP module running on the Switch.

Configuration

The script reads configuration details from a config.ini file located in the same directory as the script. Below is an example config.ini file:

[FTP]
server = X.X.X.X
port = 5000
user = root
pass = 

[Screenshots]
dt_format = %Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S
output_path = 
sync_screenshots = False

server_path_1 = 
output_path_1 = 
sync_files_1 = False

server_path_2 = 
output_path_2 =
sync_files_2 = False

server_path_3 =
output_path_3 =
sync_files_3 = False

server_path_4 =
output_path_4 =
sync_files_4 = False

server_path_5 =
output_path_5 =
sync_files_5 = False
