#!/bin/bash

# Neocities provides an API for deleting files from your site.
#
# Example Usage:
# $ USERNAME=username PASS=secret_pass bash delete_not_found_neocities.sh  path_to_local_web_root
# or
# $ export USERNAME=username
# $ export PASS=secret_pass 
# $ ./delete_not_found_neocities.sh path_to_local_web_root

# All files that exist on the server but not locally will be removed
# from the server

# From:

# Fail immediately on error
set -e

# Name the source directory
src=$1

# Note that this is not a very secure way to delete because the
# password and username are part of the URL and also visible to anyone
# who can see the curl command line in the process list.

# Change directory to the source so that we can easily get names
# relative to that directory and compare them.
cd "$src"

# Now find all the files on the server and delet those that are not
# also found in the source.
