Simple Fileshare

A very simple -- and insecure -- CGI script for sharing files via links.

The script allows anyone with access to upload any file. The following security measures should be implemented before releasing this into the wild:

• Limit access to this script to only people you trust.
• Set a size limit for uploads in your web server config.
• Implement some sort of control mechanism to ensure that your disk does not fill up with files. A cron job that removes old files, or even an isolated partition where the files live.
• If you follow the installation instructions below then make sure nobody can access the .git directory.

Installation

Clone this repository into the folder you wish to have it. Take note of the security considerations above and implement necessary mitigations.

Check out a local branch: git checkout -b local

Change the FILES_DIR_URL = "https://yourdomainhere/simple-fileshare/files" to something suitable for your site.

Upgrade

I gotta say I don't believe there will be any, but still.

git checkout master
git pull
git checkout -
git rebase master

That should be it.
