This module allows to **import/export files** from/to backend servers.

A backend server is defined by the basic `storage_backend <https://github.com/OCA/storage/tree/12.0/storage_backend>`_ OCA module, while it can be configured (amazon S3, sftp,...) with additional modules from the `storage <https://github.com/oca/storage>`_ repository.

The imported files (and the files to be exported) are stored in Odoo as ``attachment.queue`` objects, defined by the `attachment_queue <https://github.com/OCA/server-tools/tree/12.0/attachment_queue>`_ module while the importation itself (resp. exportation) is realized by **"Attachments Import Tasks"** (resp. "Attachments Export Tasks") defined by this current module.

Usage
=====

As importation and exportation are different processes, they are triggered in different ways :

**To import files**, you need to create an *"Attachment Import Task"* (menu *Settings > Technical > Attachments Import Tasks*) which defines :

- where to find the files to import from the backend server (path to the files, selection pattern)
- what to do with the source files in the backend server (avoid duplicates, delete/rename after import...)
- how the files will be processed once imported (through the **File Type** field).

  🔎 The **File Type** options are defined by other modules built to process the Attachments Queues with the same "File Type".

**To export files**, you need first to register them as *"Attachments Queues"* objects linked to an *"Attachment Export Task"* (which set automatically their **File Type** to *"Export File (External Location)"*).

Then, you can export one file at a time from the *Attachment Queue*'s form view, or export all the *Attachments Queues* in a pending state related to the same *Export Task* from the given *Export Task* form view (menu *Settings > Technical > Attachments Export Tasks*) :
