Steps to download images

1. Upload CSV to Server

> scp /path/to/request.csv root@tools.netfluence.io:

2. Connect to the server and create a folder to collect all files

> ssh root@tools.netfluence.io
> mkdir -p /root/image_crawler/$(date +%Y%m%d)
> cd /root/vor
> time php public/index.php /download-images GET "input=/root/dv8.csv&folder=/root/image_crawler/$(date +%Y%m%d)"

3. Compile all files and folder to a single archive

Collect all files and folder and archive them to a single file for easier download

> cd /root/image_crawler/
> tar -zcvf $(date +%Y%m%d).tgz $(date +%Y%m%d)

4. Prepare for Download

This step will give us the URL of the archived images for download

> mv /root/image_crawler/$(date +%Y%m%d).tgz /var/www/tools/public/download/
> echo "Download available at https://tools.netfluence.io/download/$(date +%Y%m%d).tgz"

Downloading failed download:

There are cases that the Image URL cannot be downloaded, whether the URL is 404 or the server did not allow connection. After execution, the script will output a CSV that contains all rows that was not downloaded.

To download the failed download file, follow the steps below

> mv /file/path/of/faileddownload.csv /var/www/tools/public
