Getting Started

About

The goal of this project is to build an easy to use, configurable and secure filesharing platform for selfhosting. Like a FTP replacement based on web technologies.

Installation

Download the correct version for your Operating system below. No runtime or dependency setup is needed.

Downloads

Current Version: 1.3

Start

After the Download, navigate to the executable and simply run it.

TIP

Be sure, that the user that runs the executable, has the right permissions (read, write) in that folder.

Open a browser and jump to http://localhost:5050

User Notes

Instead to use the upload form, you can also copy files directly into the uploads folder. If the file name contains a character that is not a letter, a number, or the special characters hyphen ( - ), underscore ( _ ), and period ( . ), those files are ignored.

You can easly upload such files, Sharenton generates a safe name for you.

TIP

Dont put .tmp files in the uploads folder. Sharenton will use this suffix temporarily for the upload. .tmp files are not shown and may be deleted.

Configuration file

In the root folder where the executable is, you can create a config file named "config.conf".

md
.                   # Root folder
|- uploads          # Uploads folder
- sharenton         # Executable
- config.conf       <-- Create "config.conf" file here

Take a look on the configuration site for a list of the parameters.
