get_soil_moisture: Download, Clean and Generate Graphs From USQ ThetaProbe Data

In adamhsparks/ThetaProbe: Download, Clean and Generate a Single Data File From USQ Theta Probe Soil Moisture Data

Description

This package automates downloading and cleaning of soil moisture data from ThetaProbs.

This is a slow process to retrieve all the files from the server for the first run. After the first run, it will be much faster to only retrieve new files.

Usage

get_soil_moisture(userpwd = NULL, path = NULL, local_dirs = NULL)

Arguments

userpwd	The login and password provided by NCEA to login via file transfer protocol (FTP)
path	File path to directory for saving a comma separated file (CSV) output. Defaults to current working directory.
local_dirs	File path to directory, which holds previous data logger data monthly file folders, which contain hourly CSV files from theta probe loggers.

Details

This function will download CSV files from the server that are not currently on the local machine in the user specified location and collate them into one CSV file for further use.

Examples

## Not run: 
get_soil_moisture(userpwd = "userid:password", path = NULL,
local_dirs = NULL)

## End(Not run)
