Very simple file sharing server written for Deno.

• Upload files via POST
• Delete files via DELETE
• Download files via GET
• List files (can be disabled)

The goal of this project is to be as minimal as possible. There is no authentication or folder support built in. You can just upload, download and delete files.

By default a list of available files is sent on /list. You can disable this behaviour by supplying the --no-list argument.

Arguments:

• --port, -p: Specify the port the server will listen on. (default: 3000)
• --root, -r: The folder where files should be stored / read from. (default: files)
• --index, -i: The file that will be sent on requests to /, relative to the root folder. (default: index.html)
• --block, -b: Files that can't be deleted/uploaded. Can be defined multiple times. (default: index.html)
• --verbose, -v: Show additional logging output. (default: false)
• --list, --no-list: Enable/disable file listing. When this is enabled it will also block files with the name "list" from being uploaded. (default: true)
• --path: Basepath if hosted "in a subfolder". (default: /)

You can run the file using Deno but it is recommended to run via docker.

# run using deno
deno run -q --allow-net --allow-write=myfolder --allow-read=myfolder src/mod.ts \
  -p 1080 --root myfolder -b mystaticfile -v

You can build a docker image using the provided Dockerfile. Clone the repository and run docker-compose up to use the default compose file.

The image includes the index file built from ./web/index.html. The index file is stored outside of the root folder to allow mounting a volume for persistent storage.

The docker image uses these arguments:

You can add your own index file by mounting to /app/files/index.html or by giving a different "command" to docker.

Also see ./examples/docker-compose.yml for an example of a setup behind a reverse proxy.

# upload
curl -F file=@myfile.txt’ filestation.local
# list
curl filestation.local/list
# download
curl filestation.local/myfile.txt
# delete
curl -X DELETE filestation.local/myfile.txt

Upload files by sending a POST request which contains a "file" property with the file. Download a file by seding a GET request to the filpath. Delete a file by sending a DELETE request to the filepath.

The project in ./web is a minimal index file which is also used in the docker container. The page uses the fetch api to allow uploading, deleting and downloading files (the last two only if the list option is enabled).
