Shell Programming and Scripting

I would suggest that you contact the administrators for archive.org and discuss this with them. If the transfer is supported outside of a web-session, then they will be in the best place to advise you.

I'm not trying to be unhelpful, but it would seem most practical. There will need to be an authentication process so you need to understand that and then how the transmission should work. After we have that and you can send a single file, we can work on options to collect all your data together and manage the process.

I found this tutorial on the net Script to upload to Internet Archive (archive.org) - Ask Ubuntu

Anybody can help with the above example?

Yes. YOU can help with the above example. YOU can contact the administrators at archive.org and YOU can ask them how to upload files to their site without using their one-at-a-time website upload mechanism. YOU can ask them for the procedures and keys needed to access their site to upload one or more files directly to their site.

The UNIX & Linux Forums is not a hacking site. We will not help you hack the security keys that YOU will need to use to load files into their site. To get the keys to the Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine web site, YOU need to contact the Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine administrators.

If you can get the key and process information that various people have suggested, then I'm sure we can help you find a working solution, but as this is your account and your data, we cannot get this information, nor would you want us to be able to.

Be careful and ensure that when you post the information given to you by archive.org that you do not post the actual credentials (user, password, key, target address, etc.) If you write your script something like this:-

Code:

# Define sensitive credentials
account="account_at_archive.org"
password="mysecretpassword"
target="http://archive.org/account_docs/817936"
key="ThisIsMySuperSensitiveKey"

# Actually send the data
for file in $(ls /my/stuff/to_archive)
do
   wget -user=${account} -password=${password} -key=${key} ${target}/${file}
done

...... then just share the section in the loop and tell us that the sensitive data is being set. They way I've written it is not exactly secure because anyone who is able to read your script as a whole can get at the data, but we can discuss that later.

I've no idea how it is supposed to work, but that is what you will need to tell us and then we can help you. In truth, wget may not be part of it even, it's just an example. You should get that information from archive.org administrators.

Remember that there may be firewall rules or proxy access to consider too, so this may not be straightforward. The administrators and archive.org would be best placed to tell you the sort of access you will need to ensure is in place on your network.
