Upload files only

[tphalp]

I'm trying to upload only the files in a directory, and not the directory structure itself. I have only been able to upload the entire directory, using the example in the readme as a base.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, the trick is in understanding the Grunt files object. See:
http://dontkry.com/posts/code/grunt-tricks.html
http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks

The property to pay attention to is flatten. Setting that to true will collect all files, ignoring the directory structure.

Let me know if you're still having issues, hope that helps!

EDIT: Part of what I wrote below is because of my lack of understanding of how Dropbox Apps work. I found out that it is actually uploading, but to a different folder than I thought.

The weirdness with it uploading to a folder named after the file I'm trying to upload is still a mystery to me.

Thanks for your help.

I've tried that, with this files array:

files: [
          {
            expand: true,
            flatten: true,
            cwd: '<%= dirs.base.releases %>/win32/',
            dest: 'Weave/Weave App/Current Live Version',
            src: ['libEGL.dll']
          }
        ]

and it gives me the following output (but it doesn't actually upload anything to dropbox):

Uploading build/releases/0.11.3/Weave/win32/libEGL.dll to 
/Weave/Weave App/Current Live Version/libEGL.dll/build/releases/0.11.3/Weave/win32/libEGL.dll...

I feel like it should be:

Uploading build/releases/0.11.3/Weave/win32/libEGL.dll to 
/Weave/Weave App/Current Live Version/libEGL.dll...

Am I doing something wrong with the files array?

Thanks again for your help.

Sorry for not replying, I completely forget that you had replied. I know it's been a while but could you show me the options you're providing?

        dropbox: {
            options: {
                access_token: 'XXX',
            },
            macDmg: {
                files: [{
                    expand: false,
                    flatten: true,
                    cwd: ".",
                    src: ["builds/**/*.dmg"],
                    dest: "Browser/MAC"
                }]
            }
        }

I want to make Grunt to upload file into 'Browser/MAC/release.dmg' , but it is still uploading to 'Browser/MAC/release.dmg/builds/whatever/release.dmg'

Solved by replacing 'filepath' with 'filename' in file 'tasks/dropbox.js', line 50
