ftwa

File transfer web application is a service for fast, secure and convenient file transfer in your local network or through the global web.

The speed is achieved thanks to golang, designed to create high-load and fast web services.

Security and confidentiality has become possible thanks to the use of the secure https protocol with SSL certificates, as well as the absence of any central instance (you are independent of it, you yourself are free to raise your service wherever you want). Also, the project does not depend on companies that do not care about your freedom, such as Google or Cloudflare (the service does not use CDN and similar technologies, all the code and content belongs to and can only be viewed by you). JavaScript is used only for loading and previewing files, as well as for changing the theme.

Getting the source code

via git clone

git clone https://github.com/DanteAlighierin/ftwa.git

via go get

go get github.com/DanteAlighierin/ftwa

Installation

Satisfy dependencies and generate certificates manually:

##generate certificates
cd ftwa #or 'cd go/src/github.com/DanteAlighierin/ftwa' for go get method
sudo chmod +x cert.sh
./cert.sh
./pkg.sh

Easy installation via script:

wget https://github.com/DanteAlighierin/ftwa/blob/master/installer.sh 
sudo chmod +x installer.sh
./installer.sh

The installer will also install the necessary packages by itself, but you can also manually set the required yourself:

• golang

  the application is written in Go, so you're not going anywhere without it. Doesn't matter which compiler you use: google-go-lang or gcc-go. However, I only tested on gcc-go.

• openssl

  most distributions install openssl, however, for example, void linux (until March 9, 2021) uses libressl.

• qrencode is required to generate qr code in the terminal.

In the future, it is planned to release the program as an independent binary file (at the moment it still requires a preconfigured environment), as well as publication in repositories and ports of various Linux distributions and BSD derevatives, which will naturally require the automatic installation of the required packages, which will be implemented in the future ...

Run app interactively:

go run main.go

or build the binary:

go build

Testing

Split testing

You can run a unit test for each module separately by going to the appropriate directory and starting testing:

For main.go

go test

For stun module

cd test_func/stun
go test

Simultaneous testing

At the moment testing is implemented by a simple call to the built-in golang testing toolkiy. Later it is planned to implement an advanced init test system.

go test; go test -run '/test_func/stun'

TODO

• multi-download and multi-upload files

• download file (s) on click

• prepare binary packages

• autodetect domain

• installer for other Linux distribution and BSD derevatives

• builds for Windows 10

• rewrite some of the functions from bash to golang and move them into separate threads

• refactor the css

Issues & bugs

If you know how to solve the following problems, then open a pull request:

• Loss of cerificates

• So far only Linux is supported (and possibly macOS X)

  Currently, work is underway to support Windows

• The binary requires a pre-configured environment

  For this reason, demos exist both to show the UI and to show the functional part separately. Since heroku does not support multilingual environments by default (ftwa backend is written in golang and bash)

If you are faced with other problems, then open an issue.
