How and when to copy files after they're downloaded?

Hi there,

let’s say I have a download manager that downloads file to a local disk. How do I tell rclone to copy files from a download directory as soon as they finished downloading?

Regards
Maciej

# chmod a+x /home/plex/scripts/rclone-upload.sh
# Type crontab -e and add line below (without #) and with correct path to the script
# * * * * * /home/plex/scripts/rclone-upload.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
# if you use custom config path add line bellow in line 20 after --log-file=$LOGFILE 
# --config=/path/rclone.conf (config file location)

if pidof -o %PPID -x "$0"; then
   exit 1

# CHECK FOR FILES IN FROM FOLDER THAT ARE OLDER THAN 15 MINUTES
if find $FROM* -type f -mmin +15 | read
  then
  start=$(date +'%s')

I’m all about the basic concepts So yo just use cron job scripts and scan whole directories. Thanks.
And that means that I have to have a local disk that is big enough for my downloads. And that means that my 20GB SSD is a joke

It depends on the size of your downloads.
You must have enough space to download and hold the files until upload is completed.
