Fast running without install

npx http-up .

or

npx http-up --port 3999 /path/to/fold

Basic auth

[!IMPORTANT]
It is recommend for work on public network interfaces

every time when you start, you get a list of random accounts

npx http-up --basic .

or only one basic auth specific user

npx http-up --user login1 --password EAJteG5 .

The safest run

npx http-up --tls --basic /path/to/you

read for TLS support below

Only share

npx http-up --upload-disable --folder-make-disable /tmp/fold

File encrypt

[!IMPORTANT]
Be careful. If you download .crypt file with WRONG password, it file will be contain MESS of bytes

Your server need package openssl. It will be use openssl aes-256-cbc

npx http-up --extend-mode --crypt /tmp

Then, set your passcode to the form. The passcode store on the form between requests and you not need input it every time (if you clear it server will not use openssl).

During the process of uploading, your files will be encrypt and their EXT change to .crypt

When files lying on your server, their data is crypted.

If you need decrypt any .crypt flles, set your passcode, and click on file. During download this file, it will be decrypt on the fly.

Server will be encrypt upload file:

npx http-up --extend-mode --crypt /tmp

• if you set --crypt arg on cmd
• if you set passcode (pass code set by form)

Server will be decrypt download file:

npx http-up --extend-mode --crypt /tmp

• if you set --crypt arg on cmd
• if filename contain .crypt extension
• if you set right passcode (pass code set by form)

Server will be decrypt download file (case 2):

npx http-up /tmp

• if filename contain .crypt extension
• if you get file with code param: /fold3/file.jpg.crypt?code=YOUR_PASS_HERE

Automatic TLS keys generate

• For start HTTPS server you need easyrsa linux package
• When you start server with --tls option, all keys generate automatically

npx http-up . --tls

• Server use self signed certs, generated at first time. Thus you need approve this connection on your clients.

Magic file index.html inside any folder

If you put inside folder index.html, it will be return as context

Linux packages needs for full functional

• md5sum (coreutils package) - make md5 sum of file
• convert (ImageMagick package) - for thumbnails
• libreoffice (free office) - for thumbnails
• easyrsa - package for certs build
• openssl - encrypt support
• zip - cmd util
