Construction of temporary file transfer service - use of chfs software

Because remote desktop connections are often used, file transfer between local PCs and remote PCs has always been a common problem. I tried to use vftp to build FTP services, but this service is disabled on many vps, and it must be used on windows. Setting it up is cumbersome. Fortunately, I found the github project ods-im / CuteHttpFileServer    , and built a simple file transfer service with this software, here is a record.

1. Installation

Search for this project in github, and download the package corresponding to the system platform; after decompression, there is only one file (chfs or chfs.ext). That's all.

The following takes the Linux AMD64 platform as an example to introduce how to set it as a Daemon service

2. Write the startup script

2.1 Using chfs as system software

mv chfs /usr/bin/                ## 将chfs 移动到位

2.2 Writing scripts

vim /etc/systemd/system/chfs.sh
#如下,设置了中转目录，监听的端口； 注意要将Public的读写权限进行开放

#! /bin/bash
/usr/bin/chfs --path=/var/www/html/Public --port=54321

Note: there are other parameters, you can set the login account, password, etc., see the instructions of the software 

2.3 Write systemd service

vim /etc/systemd/system/chfs.service

[Unit]
Description=Chfs file Service
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=nobody
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5s
ExecStart=/bin/bash /etc/systemd/system/chfs.sh

LimitNOFILE=1048796

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

3. Start the chfs service and set it to start with boot

systemctl start  chfs.service
systemctl status chfs.service
systemctl enable chfs.service

4. Test

Browser input: http://your-web-address:54321

 It can be uploaded, or you can conveniently directly cp the file to the shared folder on the server, and it can be displayed after refreshing
