Bitdefender Package Downloader and FTP Uploader

Overview

This Python script serves as a tool to automate the process of downloading Bitdefender antivirus packages from the Bitdefender Antivirus server and subsequently uploading them to a designated FTP server. This automation streamlines the task of keeping a local repository up to date with the latest antivirus packages provided by Bitdefender.

The script leverages the Bitdefender API for obtaining package information, and it interacts with an FTP server to manage the storage and organization of downloaded packages. By using this script, administrators can ensure that their antivirus packages repository is consistently updated, allowing for efficient distribution and deployment across their network.

Key features of the script include:

• Bitdefender API Integration: Utilizes the Bitdefender API to retrieve a list of available packages, ensuring the script remains synchronized with the latest offerings.

• FTP Interaction: Establishes a connection to an FTP server to upload downloaded packages. This enables seamless integration with existing repository management systems.

• Version Control: Checks the version of packages on the FTP server and deletes older files, ensuring that the repository maintains the most recent and relevant antivirus packages.

• Configuration Flexibility: Allows users to configure the script by specifying parameters such as API key, API server, FTP credentials, etc., providing adaptability to diverse network environments.

By employing this script, system administrators can enhance the efficiency of managing Bitdefender antivirus packages, reduce manual intervention, and ensure that their antivirus solutions are always up to date.
