A script to sync external Seedboxes to a local server for a local Sonarr server to process

[quadcom]

Sonarr was intended to be hosted on the same system as the DL client or the same local network. Many users have an externally hosted Seedbox and sync files back to the local network when completed.

I use an app called Seedsync to pull to the local network. This takes some time which Sonarr is not expecting. If the sync happens on the same folder Sonarr is watching for imports; partial files could be processed, causing corruption.

It would be fantastic if there were a way to create a script that uses the same transport mech as Seedsync (LFTP) to transfer files to the local network and then trigger Sonarr to process those files accordingly.

The current approach includes some manual steps, defeating the purpose of automation that Sonarr was intended for.
