Download all recordings

Dear Birdneters,

Is there a way I can download to my computer all at once the bird sound records that are saved on my birdnet-pi?

Thank you for any help.

You can use rsync for this. It can use an ssh source or destination path. So if your user is moe on both machines, and your birdnet pi server is birdnetpi.local, you could use a command like this:

rsync -av [email protected]:/home/moe/BirdSongs/Extracted/ /Users/Moe/Desktop/BirdNET-Pi-Sounds

This would copy all of the .mp3 extracted by date and common name, and save them to a BirdNET-Pi-Sounds directory on the desktop of the mac. Adjust that as needed. You'll get prompted for the password of the [email protected] account, just like if you werre doing a normal ssh connection.

Oh, and one detail about rsync is that if you have a source path with a trailing '/' in it, like in my example, it will copy the contents of the directory to the destination. If you want to copy the folder itself, leave off the last slash '/' and you will get the Extracted folder itself.

I'm not a macOS user, but a quick google threw up https://cyberduck.io/ as a graphical sftp browser that might be of some use as well.
