Na

Share your files with people next to you without having to send them under the ocean and back again.

Na allows you to easily share files over a local network by serving the current working directory through HTTP.

Usage

na [OPTIONS]

Navigate to a directory that you wish to share and run na. Once it's running, you'll be able to access the files from that directory from any device that's on the same network and has a web browser (or something that understands HTTP).

Options

-h | --help                  display help and exit  
-d | --dir [PATH]            specifies the path of the served directory (default is the working directory)
-p | --port [PORT]           specifies the port number (default 8888)
-i | --interface [INTERFACE] specify the network interface to use (eg. `eth0`, `wlo0`, `localhost`, etc...)  
-r | --enable-delete         enables file deletions through DELETE requests (disabled by default)
-u | --disable-upload        disables file uploads (enabled by default)
-s | --show-directory        show the path of the served directory to client (disabled by default)  
-l | --list-interfaces       print a list of available network interfaces and exit
-o | --overwrite-file        if enabled, uploaded files will overwrite existing files with the same name (disabled by default)  
-6 | --ipv6                  prefer IPv6 if available  
-v | --verbose               verbose output  

Using Na without a browser

Obtaining a list of available files

Lists of available resources can be obtained either in JSON at /json, or in a simple list form separated by a newline \n at /list.

An example of obtaining a list of files in JSON form:

curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:9000/json

[
  {
    "name": ".cargo-lock",
    "url": "/files/.cargo-lock",
    "size": 0,
    "modified": "Tue, Aug 02 2016  02:08:53",
    "modified_raw": 1470096533
  },
  {
    "name": "na",
    "url": "/files/na",
    "size": 18404960,
    "modified": "Wed, Aug 03 2016  04:36:33",
    "modified_raw": 1470191793
  }
]

An example of obtaining a simple list of URLs separated by a newline \n:

curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:9000/list

/files/.cargo-lock
/files/na

Fetching a file:

curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:9000/files/example.txt"

Uploading a single file:

curl --form "upload=@example.txt" http://127.0.0.1:9000

[
  {
    "source_name": "README.md",
    "saved_name": "README.md"
  }
]

Uploading multiple files in a single request:

curl -F "upload[]=@example.txt" -F "upload[]=@example2.txt" http://127.0.0.1:9000

[
  {
    "source_name": "README.md",
    "saved_name": "README.md (1)"
  },
  {
    "source_name": "build.rs",
    "saved_name": "build.rs"
  }
]

Deleting a file:

curl -X DELETE "http://127.0.0.1:9000/files/example.txt"

note: DELETE is disabled by default, so it needs to be enabled by passing the -r or --enable-delete flag to na

Installation
