File Transfer POC written in Java

Capture 'Em All!

Capture 'Em All is a file transfer writen in Java 8. It is meant as a proof-of-concept of how a multithreaded file manager can work on Java. Please feel free to pitch in new ideas and of course, new code.

Supported protocols:

• http
• https
• ftp
• sftp
• file

How to use it

Command line:

java -jar capture-em-all.jar file1 file2 -o=/downloads

What can be improved

• CI/CD is not hooked, we should create new version after a merge to master
• Tests - Exception scenarios not covered by automatic tests (manually tested):
  • File transfer interrupted
  • Really big files (once this is done, separate tests in fast, medium, slow suites)
• PMD and Checkstyle plugins are not integrated to the build

Backlog

1. Graphical User Interface
2. Scheduler - Schedule transfers to run on a cron based expression
3. Progress meter for the CLI - It will be better to see the download progress rather than wonder if the application halted or is working quietly
