Hi, I recently set up a do-it-yourself makeshift security camera for my room (not facing inside the room by the way) using software called ContaCam by Contaware. It allows for clips to be uploaded to an FTP server that I set up on a different computer. The way that it organizes files by the year and month is fine, but after the month, it just throws everything in the same folder. I was wondering if there's some program that could automatically sort through the mix of .gif and .mp4 files that get dumped into that folder and organize them into separate folders either every time something new gets put in there, or at regular intervals throughout the day. I tried getting ContaCam to send those files to separate folders, but it didn't work. Does anyone know a program that can do this? Thanks!

 

Just in case:

System running ContaCam is a Lenovo Yoga 2 11 with an i3-4012Y, 4GB RAM, 500GB SSHD, Windows 10 Home

System running the FTP has an i7-4790, BIOSTAR B85 motherboard, 16GB DDR3, 250GB Samsung 850, 500GB HDD, 1.5TB HDD, add-in wifi card with AX200, PSU is an RM1000X, and OS is Windows 10 Pro.

What do the files look like (as in the filename structure)?

And to what "separate folders" would you like to sort them into? All the mp4s in an "mp4" folder and all the gifs in a "gif" folder? Or create daily folders in which files created on that day are moved to?

 

I could create a Python script for you to do that once I find a few minutes to spare.
