• Be the server, share files fresh from your disk, with unlimited space and bandwidth.
• No intermediaries—give a huge file to your friend without waiting for it to be uploaded to a server first.

• User authentication using username and password
• Browse files and directories on the server
• Upload files to the server
• Download files from the server
• Built-in basic anti-DDoS protection
• Includes a simple PyQt5 GUI

• or:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/TechWhizKid/pyFlaskyServe.git

2. Install the required dependencies using pip:

   pip install Flask Flask-Limiter PyQt5

3. Run the application:

• For command-line interface (CLI) access (for debuging):

  python pyFlaskyServe.py

• For graphical user interface (GUI) access:

  python FlaskyServeGUI.py

4. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000 (or any other port if you are using the GUI) to access the file server.

To get started, simply open the accounts.json file and create user accounts with usernames and passwords like this:

{
  "username_1":"superstrongpasswd",
  "username_2":"passwordforthisuser",
  "username_3":"anotherexamplepasswd"
}

• The login page allows users to authenticate using their username and password.
• After logging in, users can browse and manage files and directories on the server.
• Use the "Choose File" button to upload files to the server.
• Click on a folder name to navigate into that folder.
• Click on a file name to download the file.
• Use the "Go back" button to navigate to the parent directory.
• Use the "Root" button to navigate back to the root directory.
