• 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:
