Droopy is an easy to handle tiny mini webserver for uploading files.
It makes it easy to receive files on your computer.
You start the python Droopy mini-server, give people who wants to send you files your address and they can upload files with their webbrowser to your upload folder. Its secure btw.
Droopy is a script that runs with python.
If you don't have python get it here: Python and install it.
Create a "bin" folder in the python directory:
Code:
C:\python26\bin
Create a Upload folder:
Code:
C:\Uploads
Place the Droopy script
Code:
droopy.py
and the
Code:
avatar.jpeg
in the bin folder (from the attached rar archive)
Execute the shortcut. Browse with your browser to
Code:
http://localhost:8000
Once it’s running (on port 8000, by default), anyone who has its address can then use the web interface to upload their files to your machine via their browser. If you like, you can also provide a personalized greeting and image, as in the screenshot.
For the security conscious, Droopy is upload-only (people can’t download files using it, or even see what files are on your machine), and files can only be uploaded while Droopy is running.
You may need to change your router / firewall settings to accept incoming on port 8000.
can't you see it like in the windows ? Have python 2.6.5 installed ?
When you execute the shortcut "Droopy" (important: the name of the script is "Droopy.py")
I've installed python 2.6.5, and it got placed over here: C:\Python26 and i've downloaded you're Droopy and i've put 2 item into this directory aswell: C:\Python26..
need to create a "bin" folder in the python folder and place the script file droopy.py and the avatar.jpeg there, else the shortcut execution string (you can check with mouse-click-> properties) will not find the script
yep thats correct so far, and having the shortcut on your desktop ? The shortcut is for start running the webserver (the pyhton.exe with the script), you need to start it before open webbrowser
