How do i launch it?

First of all, get python 3 & then get pip.

1. Python 3
2. Pip
3. Then, pip install flask
4. Then, clone this repo (attention! it will be cloned to the current directory, so make sure you do it in some kinda documents or special one) git clone https://github.com/ScientificClubofESI/CuteFileBrowser-python/
5. Then, cd CuteFileBrowser-python

Note: http://127.0.0.1:5000/Program Files means C:\Program Files 7. Finally, python server.py 8. Open the index.html file

Forcing files to download

Browsers open text files instead of downloading them. If you wish to force all files to download, place this .htaccess file in the files folder:

<Files *.*>
ForceType application/octet-stream
</Files>

It should be called .htaccess (with a leading dot). This file is only supported on Apache web servers.

Improvements

1. Added the ability to call the script multiple times in the same page
2. Ignores hidden files and desktop.ini file
3. Can go throw protected folders
4. Showing Folder Size

Future features

1. Zipping and downloading Folder
2. Recently added Files
