FLIT

Create fluttering folders

Basic function:

• You want to share files over a web server.
• You don't want the URL to be guessable, but also not too long to share.
• You want the share to expire over time, and files deleted

Installation

• Create a folder that is publicily visible on a web server, like Nginx.
• Copy the flit.example as executable flit, and add the public URL in the script.
• Have the flit.py in the same folder.
• Add a symlink to flit script so that it is in the PATH, i.e. ln -s $(pwd)/flit ~/.local/bin/flit
• Add flit del to daily cron

Usage

• flit add [-d {days}] [-m {description}] [files]
  • Create folder with 30 days or specified life time
  • You can add files to be copied in the folder, or simply copy them yourself.
• flit list [-v]
  • List folders with due dates
  • Use the verbose switch to list URLS to all files in the shares
• flit del
  • Delete due folders

Note: This utility does not create indexes of files. Use another tool, or let web server index.
