django-direxplorer's Introduction

django-direxplorer -- http directory explorer for Django

Overview
=========
The purpose of this program is to enable multiple file/directory transfer over http without the use of ftp sftp or other file transfer protocols.
The functionality implemented by either transferring raw file content, archived file content or recursively archived directories.
Limitations
===============
This application performs no caching, so the server could easily be DOSed meaning that file transfer is only allowed for registered users.
The program implemented by first zipping all content in a file in /tmp directory and then sending it to the user, so be sure to enable ample timeout options on your upstream server, and have enough space in /tmp.
