Temporary file sharing using simple two digit codes.

Project description

tmper : temp file sharing

A very simple file sharing utility that launches quickly and allows sharing files between many people with a set number of downloads (default 1, max 10).

If there is an existing server then you can easily interact with it through the command line interface. In this case, set the global url option then upload and download:

tmper c --url=http://some.url.com/       # configure a global url
tmper u /some/file                       # upload a file and receive code
tmper d <code>                           # download file code

For more information, look into tmper –help. If there is no server you can easily start one yourself. In the basic form, simply run:

tmper s      # 's' is short for serve, see tmper --help

and point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8888. From there, you can follow the directions to upload and download files. By default, it only runs on the local interface.

nginx setup

It is recommended that if you wish the server to be available remotely to run it behind a webserver such as nginx or apache with forwarding set up between the two (so root privileges are not required). Here is a sample setup, especially for larger max file sizes:

server {
    listen 80;

    root /var/www/;
    index index.html index.htm;
    server_name <server-url>;

    location / {
        client_body_buffer_size    1M;
        client_max_body_size       128M;
        error_page 413 /error-size;

        proxy_pass http://localhost:3333;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}
