Simon 5 is coming soon!
Simon version 5 is currently in beta testing. It is a massive update, introducing a much-requested feature: syncing the Simon data between multiple Macs, plus a Simon Status service, a Link Checker filter, improved Find filter, iMessage and Speak Error notifiers, a new app icon, and much more.
Important: please note that Simon 5 requires a minimum of macOS 10.12 (Sierra), and will be a paid upgrade from Simon 4 after the beta. Purchasers since September 1, 2020 automatically get a version 5 license (that also works in previous versions).
Re: SFTP Upload Revisited?
Simon's report upload mechanism hasn't changed; SFTP isn't supported.
I'm not aware of a script to handle uploads, but I'd welcome replies from anyone who has done this.
Re: SFTP Upload Revisited?
Thanks for the speedy response. If I come up with a solution I'll happily share it.
Re: SFTP Upload Revisited?
To follow-up on my previous question, here is one solution.
I ended up writing a shell script that used scp. I didn't want to put user credentials in the script, so I had to set up shared keys between the simon machine and the web server for that to work.
Then I configured launchd to call this simple script every 3 minutes.
#! /bin/bash
scp -r -q /Users/simon/Desktop/simon/status/* :/Library/WebServer/Documents//users/simon/status
