set :linked_files and set :linked_files for uploads in capistrano3

I am trying to upload my files and folder to my server using capistrano3. I want that folder to be shared amongst all the releases. For example I have a folder named media and it contains sub directories and files. I want that to be placed under shared directory created by Capistrano 3. I have seen this

set :linked_files, %w{config/database.yml}
set :linked_dirs, %w{bin log tmp/pids tmp/cache tmp/sockets vendor/bundle public/system}

Is there any way where I can upload all the files and subdirectories of media into shared directory.

Note :Basically I want my uploads to be untouched from capistrano3. Is there any way where I will just create the structure of the uploads folder and it will remain intact from my capistrano deploys. Thanks in advance.

Add the media dir into linked_dirs, if you want that folder to be shared amongst all the releases.

set :linked_dirs, %w{bin log tmp/pids tmp/cache tmp/sockets vendor/bundle public/system media}

Then write a task like this:

namespace :deploy do
  desc 'upload media files'
  task :upload_media_files do
    remote_path, local_path = "#{fetch(:deploy_to)}/shared/media", '/your/local/media/path'
    on release_roles :app do
      upload!(local_path, remote_path, recursive: true)
    end
  end
end

after 'deploy:check', 'deploy:upload_media_files'

It's a scp command. According to the source code, the command would be: scp -t -r /remote/shared/media.

If you don't want overwrite the existing files, you should use rsync

namespace :deploy do
  desc 'upload media files'
  task :upload_media_files do
    remote_path, local_path = "#{fetch(:deploy_to)}/shared", '/your/local/media/path'
    on release_roles :app do |server|
      system("rsync -avzr #{local_path} #{fetch(:deployer)}@#{server.hostname}:#{remote_path}")
    end
  end
end

after 'deploy:check', 'deploy:upload_media_files'
