+# send
+
+I refuse to use WeTransfer or FileMail or any of that stuff.
+The idea of using a third party service to do something so stupidly simple as to transfer files is insulting.
+And, because nobody I work with is going to set up an FTP server for me to drop files into,
+and managing an FTP server with a bunch of different accounts for each client sounds like a hassle,
+I'm doing this instead.
+
+Writing my own version of these services, so I can host it myself.
+
+# NOTE:
+
+This is not finished software, don't use it.
+
+# Planning
+
+I need a dir where I put a bunch of zip files.
+Probably the home directory of a new user named "send"
+Each filename will get md5sum'ed, and that will become the link.

+
+Is this amazing for security? No, you could brute force this to find the files, but honestly, who cares?
+Any production important for security and leaks to be a concern will have a dedicated DIT, and this won't be needed.
+Maybe I could salt it... Hmmm... A thought for later.
+
+To generate the webpage, all I need is three pices of HTML to cat together.
+
+1. Header and down to an opening <h1>
+2. Title of File
+3. <\h1> and on to half of the <a href="
+4. filename.zip
+5. "> Download and down the rest of the page.
+
+Just cat those together, and you've got a download page.
+Save that at 
+
+	send.sparkburst.net/f38eba6dbbe1965bc4869621d5a6fed3/index.html
+
+And tadaa! Download page done.
+
+Maybe I'll grab the style.css that is already in use for the rest of https://sparkburst.net/
