Data transfer to user provided FTP

[senthil10]

Sometimes user outside sweden have problem with accessing data in UPPMAX, so they ask to upload the data in a FTP server which they setup. This is a standalone script which can be run and it uploads the data preserving the tree structure.

Though its not more often, it might come handy when the occasion comes and save lot of time in writing a script again.

This format is not preserved in the help output i.e. I expect it to print as such but it collapses the yaml format and prints as one line. Any suggestions ?

Passing RawDescriptionHelpFormatter as formatter_class= indicates that description and epilog are already correctly formatted and should not be line-wrapped:

formatter_class=argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter,

or you can use the syntax that @mariogiov discovered:

config_file_format = ("Input config file should be in following format, especially the key/header "
                        "names should be same as in the example, else the list 'config_keys' in "
                        "source code should be changed to match the key names as in config file"

                        "[ftp]"
                        "domain: xxxx"
                        "port: xxxx"
                        "username: xxxx"
                        "password: xxxx"
                        "project: xxxx"
                        "uppmaxid: xxxx")

Is not that nice, just that you know it exists, but better use @ewels ' syggestion

Awesome!!! Thank you guys 😃 👍
Will fix it.

[ewels]

Cool - did that work then?

[senthil10]

Yup!! It was super nice, but just a heads up formatter_class=argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter preserves the intend and what so ever only for the Descriptiontext, than if we use formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter it preserves the styling (literally and overwhelming 😝) for all help text.

So for this context I moved the config format to description text. Now it looks neat.
Tack @ewels and @guillermo-carrasco :)
