odoo8-addon-document-sftp 8.0.1.0.0.99.dev3

Installation

To install this module, you need to:

1. install paramiko. You need version 2.0 or higher

2. install the module. It will generate a new host key during installation

Configuration

To configure this module, you need to:

1. be sure there’s a proper hostkey in config parameter document_sftp.hostkey

2. add some authorized key on the users’ form who should be allowed to login via SFTP

Usage

To use this module, you need to:

1. add some keys to your user’s authorized key field

2. say sftp -p 2222 $yourodoohost and browse through the possibilities

3. when you found what you want, say sshfs -p 2222 "admin@localhost:By model/res.company/1" $yourmountpoint to see all attachments of your main company in $yourmountpoint

4. pay someone to implement locking (see below) in order to be able to write on this

Known issues / Roadmap

• implement writing. This is not trivial, because we need some concept of locking, UI for that and take care of some corner cases

• allow to restrict actions on SFTP that are allowed normally (because rf -rf $yourmountpoint/ can become a serious problem)

• should support directories

• implement some other useful virtual roots (Mails, By Directory, By name, …) This should look like symlinks to the rigid designator (model+id) from the point of view of the user.

• with this, auth_ssh should be simple to implement enabling passwordless logins for your scripts

• if you want to see error messages from the SFTP server thread, use --log-handler=paramiko:DEBUG
