File Share - Local File Sharing Service

fshare is a Python package that serves as a file sharing service over a local network. It utilizes Flask to create a local server on port 8000, allowing users to upload files and share them within the network.

Installation

To install fshare, use pip:

pip install fshare

All of the required dependencies (flask >= 1.0.0) will be installed automatically by pip.

Running the Service

To start the file-sharing service, run the following command:

python -m fshare

You're all set! Servers is up and running on http://localhost:8000

Default save-location is the temp directory (/tmp/fshare on unix like systems or %tmp%/fshare on windows)

Command-Line Options

fshare supports the following command-line options:

usage: python -m fshare [-h] [--bind BIND] [--port PORT] [--location LOCATION]

Starts the python file-sharing service application

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --bind BIND, -b BIND  The local address to bind the server
  --port PORT, -p PORT  File server port to run on
  --location LOCATION, -l LOCATION
                        The path to the folder where files will be stored
                        (default: /tmp/fshare)

Options

• -h, --help: Displays the help message and exits.
• --bind BIND, -b BIND: Sets the local address to bind the server (optional).
• --port PORT, -p PORT: Specifies the file server port to run on (optional).
• --location LOCATION, -l LOCATION: Sets the path to the folder where files will be stored. By default, files are stored in /tmp/fshare.

Example Usage

Here's an example of running fshare with custom options:

python -m fshare --port 8080 --location /path/to/custom/folder

This will start the file-sharing service on port 8080 and use /path/to/custom/folder as the file storage location.

Running programatically

Fshare can be imported in your project alongside with a reference to the FileManager class and the flask app.

from fshare.main import app, fileManager

# change the save-location path
# fileManager.changeLocation('/new/location/path')

app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000, debug=True)
