Features

you can simply share any directory on your local system over http / https, in short : just like a file browser.

in Location model, by adding a new location, system will check if the path exist, so you can have following permissions separated for 3 different user types per each Location object. Admins , Users ( mean normal users ) and Anonymouse Visitors ( public ) :

attention :

  1. if you share a directory, inside another shared directory, neither Base Directory nor Sub Directory will not change each other permissions. the deepest available Sub Directory Location object permissions will be used for each directory.
  2. the root path / is not available.
  3. only directories path are allowed to be shared, not files.
  4. commands will run as logged-in user on local system, so even if a permission like Can Delete be True, on a directory that need superuser sudo permission, the command will not effect, for security reasons.
permission description

Show Files user can view Files in directory. ( only view, nothing more )
