NOTE: Eventually, I realized that your local machine's IP is private, so this whole project is just a joke.
ServeBox serves files quickly on the web directly from your local machine, what you can access via your IP-address from anywhere. Here's a quick demo of serving files,
NOTE: Your connection will not be not private. So the whole game of authentication is pointless in the open fields of the Internet. If anyone wants to use TLS for communication, open an Issue, please.
Okay, this might piss you off 😛
go get github.com/ritwik310/servebox # You need Golang installed on your machine to run thisIf you want me to host the Binary on the web. Again, just throw an Issue.
This application contains 2 main parts, a CLI-Client for managing files; and a Server that reads files from the staging area (file-system) and serves those from your local machine.
When you add files to ServeBox, for example servebox add ./example.txt. That ServeBox copies that file to a staging area (generally a directory), and also creates a Password file that contains the path to the copied file. When you start the ServeBox Server (servebox start), anyone can access the files in the staging area with the corresponding Filepath and Password.
NOTE: Your connection will not be not private, so the communication between client and server is not encrypted. So anyone with the correct skills can read the file and even the password. Do not share critical information. NOT SAFE!
Here's a list of all the commands that ServeBox supports.
To add a file to the staging area,
servebox add ./example.txtTo list out all the currently tracked files (all the files on the staging area),
servebox lsTo change password associated with a file,
servebox change-password ./example.txtTo remove a file from the staging area,
servebox remove ./example.txtTo remove all from the staging area,
servebox remove-allTo start the Server and serve files on the web,
servebox startAnd that's it. Yep, just 6 commands (for v1). Happy Hacking
