README

Upgopher

This is a simple Go web server that allows users to upload files and view a list of the uploaded files. The server can be run locally or deployed to a remote server.

This project tries to replace all file servers that use python, since there are always problems with libraries. Sometimes we want it to be on a remote pc and go gives you the possibility of cross-platform compilation and to work anywhere...

Features

• Users can upload files by selecting a file and clicking the "Upload" button
• Uploaded files are stored in the "uploads" directory by default, but the directory can be changed using the -dir flag
• Users can view a list of the uploaded files by visiting the root URL
• Basic authentication is available to restrict access to the server. To use it, set the -user and -pass flags with the desired username and password.
• Traffic via HTTPS.
• Generate a self-signed certificate by setting the -ssl flag.
• Possibility to browse through folders and upload files.
• Copy file URLs to clipboard with one click for easy sharing.
• Option to hide hidden files with the -disable-hidden-files flag.
