# 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
### The main problem
Not generating the page for every file every time the script runs.
Somehow, the script needs to know if a file has already had it's page set up.
Ok, just md5 the file, and see if the directory exists.
Do the same for when the file is beyond 14 days old, and delete said directory, and then the file.
### The easy part
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
To generate the webpage, all I need is a few pieces of HTML to concatenate
1. Header and down to an opening `<h1>`
2. Title of File
3. `<\h1>` and on to half of the `<a>`
4. filename.zip
5. Download and down the rest of the page.
6. And then a bunch of file info, from these commands:
stat something.zip
zipinfo -1 something.zip | tree --fromfile .
`>>` these into index.html, and you've got a webpage.
Save that at
send.sparkburst.net/f38eba6dbbe1965bc4869621d5a6fed3/index.html
Et voila! Download page done.
Maybe I'll grab the style.css that is already in use for the rest of https://sparkburst.net/
