# 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.

# 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.

	send.sparkburst.net/f38eba6dbbe1965bc4869621d5a6fed3/test.zip

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/
