dropafile 0.1.1

dropafile
Drop me a file, securely.
| documentation | sources | issues
dropafile provides an HTTPS-secured webapp where users can drop
files.
It is meant as a channel to deliver documents in a not-too-unsecure
manner. For instance as a quickly installable workaround if people are
not able or willing to use GnuPG or similar, although they have
sensible documents to send.
dropafile is written in Python (server parts) and uses the
dropzonejs JavaScript library (client parts). The builtin server is
based on Werkzeug.

Install
As a user, run:
$ pip install dropafile
then, start the local server:
$ dropafile
Creating temporary self-signed SSL certificate...
Done.
Certificate in: /tmp/tmp1y2bgh/cert.pem
Key in: /tmp/tmp1y2bgh/cert.key
Password is: H93rqnsrdEXD2ad3rQwdWqZ
* Running on https://localhost:8443/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
The server will provide SSL. Users can access dropafile sevice
pointing their browsers to the location given. The page is protected
by basic auth. Users will have to provide an arbitrary user name and
the password displayed on the commandline at startup (which changes
with restart).
The –help option will display all available options:
$ dropfile --help
usage: dropafile [-h] [--host HOST] [-p PORT] [-s PASSWORD]

Start dropafile app.

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--host HOST Host we bind to. An IP address or DNS name.
`localhost` by default.
-p PORT, --port PORT Port we listen at. An integer. 8443 by default.
-s PASSWORD, --secret PASSWORD
Password to access dropafile. If none is given we
generate one.
Whenever a user sends a file, the path is displayed on the
commandline.

Developers should install a virtualenv first:
$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 py27 # for Python2.7
See tox.ini for all Python versions supported.
Activate the virtualenv:
$ source py27/bin/activate
(py27) $
Now build the devel environment:
