As the name suggests, this project is all about sending and downloading files from local server. This project could be easily replaced by something like ftp, but I wanted to learn few things, and in my experience, the best way to learn is to just work on projects.
- Send files to local server
- Download files from local server
- Rename files
- Create new directories
- Delete directories
- Add preview of files
- Add functionality to change permissions
- Set up https (Currently there is https implemented, but I turned it off because it was self-signed and caused trouble )
-
Add some sort of simple text editor to quickly create basic notes and upload it to server(in my case my pc) -
Add option to edit text files - Maybe rework UI. I'm not sure yet
- Option to add description to folder. For example content from desc.txt will display inside separate section
- Download jar from releases
- Create new folder for example /home/[user]/uploader
- Put jar inside created folder
- Run this command
java -jar [downloaded jar] config
- This will start config setup that is required for this application to work
- If you chose default upload location in this example it will be located /home/[user]/uploader/upload
- Now you can start the application with
java -jar [downloaded jar]
- Now you have 2 options
- If you want to access it from computer that is hosting the application you can simply open browser and go to ** localhost:8080**
- In case you want to access application from mobile you will need to get the server ip. For example on arch linux use
this command and copy second ip
and paste it into browser with port 8080 for example
ip address | grep -w inet
192.168.50.42:8080
- Application is not mobile friendly (yet)
- Please do not set upload folder as your home directory or somewhere where you have important data!!! This application need a lot more testing, and I need to learn a lot more so please just don't do it
- I do not take responsibility for any lost files(this application shouldn't be able to reach outside the upload folder but maybe there are some edge cases, but still you would actually need to click delete or edit and submit )
