The web can be used as a [[special_remote|special_remotes]] too.

# git annex addurl http://example.com/video.mpeg
|

addurl video.mpeg (downloading http://example.com/video.mpeg)

ok
|
||||
|
||||
Now the file is downloaded, and has been added to the annex like any other
|
||||
file. So it can be copied to other repositories, and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that git-annex assumes that, if the web site does not 404, the file is
|
||||
still present on the web, and this counts as one [[copy|copies]] of the
|
||||
file. So it will let you remove your last copy, trusting it can be
|
||||
downloaded again:
|
||||
|
||||
# git annex drop video.mpeg
|
||||
drop video.mpeg (checking http://example.com/video.mpeg) ok
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't [[trust]] the web to this degree, just let git-annex know:
|
||||
|
||||
# git annex untrust web
|
||||
untrust web ok
|
||||
|
||||
With the result that it will hang onto files:
|
||||
|
||||
# git annex drop video.mpeg
|
||||
drop video.mpeg (unsafe)
|
||||
Could only verify the existence of 0 out of 1 necessary copies

Also these untrusted repositories may contain the file:
|
||||
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 -- web
|
||||
(Use --force to override this check, or adjust annex.numcopies.)
