Tutorial

Setting up the bot/server

Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt

1) Creating the bot

In order for this program to work, you're going to need to create a discord bot so we can connect to the discord API. Go to this link to create a bot. Make sure to create a user bot and ensure the bot is private. Keep note of the token and the client ID.

2) Setting up the server

The bot will need a place to upload files. Create a new discord server, make sure no one else is on it unless you want them to access your files.

3) Adding your bot to the server

To add the bot to the server (assuming your bot isn't public), go to the following link (Needs manage messages permission): https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={CLIENT_ID}&scope=bot&permissions=11264 Replace {CLIENT_ID} with the client ID you copied earlier.

Setting up the program

Clone the repository.

1) Configuration

Run python fs.py to begin configuration of the bot. When prompted, copy and paste your token from when you created your bot. For the channel ID, copy the channel ID with right click on the channel (developer mode must be enabled under appearance on Discord settings to have the option for Copy ID).

You can delete .env to reconfigure the program.
