Basic PHP App To Manage Images That I Upload From My Phone

Primary LanguageTypeScript

Sharing

Simple Angular/PHP apps that I use to download images and movies that I upload from my phone.

What is this

A small API (get only) endpoint that returns a list of files. A small angular application that retrieves the list and creates hyperlinks for each.

How it works for me

I installed an application called AndFTP on my phone. I use AndFTP to upload pictures and movies to a server. Once the file is uploaded I tell whoever I am sharing the file with (usually my wife) that it is ready. Then she goes to the page and right clicks on it to download. Then I use FTP to delete the file.

Why

I needed to share a 230M movie file of my son proposing to his fiance with my wife. We tried using Google Drive, blue tooth, and both tooks hours and never succeeded. I finally installed AndFTP on my phone and after I configured it the file took less than two minutes to upload. I have no idea why those other technologies were so slow, but sometimes you have to go old school.
