Looking to Fully Automate downloads From Seedbox to Plex (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello All,

Currently I'm running SFTP from my Seedbox to my Plex server (Ubuntu) via a Windows 10 machine with SMB. It's fine, though a little slow. The speed I can deal with, but I was hoping to automate this process. Are there any decent, free FTP clients out there that can periodically search my seedbox for new files and automatically upload them to my Plex server? Is there a better way than using SFTP?

This is my first run at this and I'm looking for any insight you folks may have to offer. The goal here is to be able to make a request in Ombi and have it appear in my Plex without any interaction when the transfers complete.

Side note: I'm so happy to have found this community. I've gained so many insights already.

I take it your seedbox is hosted externally and your Plex server is hosted internally on your home network?

You could set up a cron job on your Ubuntu server to run periodically and pull files from your completed downloads folder ~~using scp. You'll want to set up an ssh key for authentication to do this.~~

Edit: I changed my mind about recommending scp for this But yeah you should just do sftp from the terminal on your Ubuntu server using a cron job. Both of these should be fairly manageable with a bit of trial and error.

Stopping the torrent and removing it from your list will depend on what torrent client you're using.
