LocalShare

LocalShare is a utility tool designed for sharing files and small data snippets between devices on the same network.

Project Overview

LocalShare utilizes Flask to create a local server on a host device. All shared files are temporarily stored on the host device and can be deleted once sharing is complete.

Requirements

The project has been tested with the following environment:

1. Python 3.8.10
2. Flask 3.0.3

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the project:

   git clone https://github.com/jchaudhary21/LocalShare.git

2. Install Flask ()

   pip install flask==3.0.3

3. Open your .bashrc file:

   nano ~/.bashrc

4. Add a function at the bottom of the file:

   LocalShare() {
     # Insert the path to your local-share.bash file here
   }

4. Save the file (Ctrl + S) and exit the editor (Ctrl + X).

5. Source your updated .bashrc file:

   source ~/.bashrc

Usage

1. Run the LocalShare command in your terminal.

2. You'll see a local IP address displayed, formatted as: 192.168.x.xxx:5000

3. Access this IP address from a web browser on any device connected to the same network.

4. You can now view available files or upload new ones through the web interface.
