• PyFiTransfer is a simple program developed as a way to easily transfer files of a given extension-type from one directory to a destination directory.

• Originally created as a personal solution for easily moving gaming screenshots to my primary "pictures" folder without having to manually copy-and-paste various screenshots after each time playing a game.

Coming Soon!

1. Download source code from the PyFiTransfer GitHub repo.

2. Extract contents of the containing .zip file to desired install location.

3. Navigate to directory containing extracted contents, and open said folder within a terminal.

4. Enter pip install -r requirements.txt to install all dependencies for this package.

5. Finally, move the "PyFiTransfer-vx.x.x" directory to your global Python 3rd-party package installation directory to be able to import PyFileTransfer like any other module:

   • "path/to/python/Lib/site-packages/PyFiTransfer-vx.x.x"

6. Done!

• If you've already installed PyFiTransfer using pip:

  • In an open python environment, simply import the PyFiTransfer package and run the main.py script like so:

    >>> import PyFiTransfer
    
    >>> PyFiTransfer.main()

• If you have NOT already installed PyFiTransfer to your Python environment:

  • Start by opening the python script located within the installation directory:
    • "path/to/PyFiTransfer/PyFiTransfer/main.py"

1. Enter the file-path to the directory acting as the file transfer's destination.

2. Enter the file-type of the files you wish to transfer (not including the "." that proceeds the file type).

   • Example:
     • You would enter (without the quotations) "exe" when needing to migrate files with the ".exe" extension.

3. If everything is correctly validated, a success message is returned to the console, alongside a list of files that were successfully transferred.

   • If an error occurs, the program will display an error message before exiting.

4. Finally, the user is prompted to press the [ENTER] key to exit the process.

• If you have any questions, comments, or concerns that cannot be alleviated through the project's GitHub repository, please feel free to contact me through my email address:
