Minimal HTTP server to store and retrieve files from a folder. Compiled for Linux AMD64, but you can re-compile to any Go supported architecture.

Use cases:

• sharing files via HTTP
• storing files for long term (like artifact repository)

Usage examples

Running application

Run storage and expose all files in /home/user/files to localhost:8223:

./storage --path="/home/user/files" --port=8223

To keep server up you should run it with some process manager, for example, supervisor.

Uploading files

Then, you are able to upload file file.tar.gz via HTTP post using curl:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8223/newFolder -F [email protected]

Multiple file uploads are supported too:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8223 -F [email protected] -F [email protected]

Retrieving files

Uploaded files should be available at http://localhost:8223/{optionalFolder}/{fileName}

Removing files

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8223/{fileName}

Security considerations

There are no limits who can create and delete files, to secure this server, use proxy with access authentication and specific firewall rules to avoid unwanted traffic.

Limitations

• Files with same name are overwritten without any warnings
• HTTPS is not supported without additional proxy
• It is not possible to mass delete files, only one by one or whole directory
