BFU - Better File Upload - Desktop
Installation
Requirements:
- Windows
- Python 3.x
- Admin privileges
In order for the desktop hooks to be registered, BFU-Desktop needs to add 4 keys to the Windows registry. To perform this, YOU NEED ADMIN PRIVILEGES. Follow these steps:
- Clone/Download this repository
- Move the whole directory to the place, in which you want this application to be installed. Keep all files in the same directory
- Right-click the install.bat -> Run as administrator
- Confirm the prompt
- Done
If there were no errors during the installation, you should see 3 new options popping up when right-clicking files, and one new option when right-clicking folder:
- BFU - Upload (Uploads the given file, copies the download URL to your clipbaord after it's done)
- BFU - Upload... (Opens advanced file upload dialog for additional settings)
- BFU - Copy path (Copies the file/folder path to your clipboard)
After uploading your first file, a settings file will be generated. In that settings file you may change the API Key from the default public key to a private one, which you can aquire from here:
https://fu.vi-home.de/profile (work in progress)
The API Key needs to have upload privileges, obviously.
Uninstall
- TDB
Move Installation folder
You can freely move the installation folder, but you'll have to run the install.bat afterwards again, so that the registry keys point to the correct files.
Access
All files submitted via the public API Key will be visible on:
https://file-upload.vi-home.de/download?fid=\<fileID>
