About

izi allows you to very easily set up an interface on your server to easily upload, share and manage files.

See more screenshots of the interface here.

Allows you to upload and delete files
Allows you to view a list of all files and links to them
Prints simple, valid HTML
Javascript not required for functioning
Navigable easily without having to take your hand off the keyboard
(Hint: If using Firefox, Quick find (' and /) is incredible!)
Supports configuring of allowed and disallowed filetypes
Super simple set up - just one file!

Works great on homelabs, shared hosting or VPSs! :P

Save izi.php on your server. You can rename it if you want (for e.g., to index.php).
Create a directory where your files will be uploaded. Make sure it is publicly accessibly.
Configure the options at the top of izi.php. To generate the password hash, you can use hashgen.
All done!

  +-[parent folder]
   |-izi.php
   |-files/

Supported versions of PHP. At the time of writing, that's PHP 7.4+. izi will almost certainly work on older versions, but we don't test it on those, so be careful, do your own testing.

You might want to enforce TLS through your server's configuration, because the setting in izi.php will only enforce it for the interface itself and won't (can't) enforce it for the files you share.
You also might want to leave an empty index.html file in the directory where your files are stored, or disable directory listing so that people and bots can't find all your files.
