![]() ![]() As of right now, it supports zip files only and will probably be extended to support tar as well and will get outside the canary once there’s some tests for this and the label has been translated in all the languages that are currently supported. ![]() ![]() The option only shows when you select a zip file and the url contains the “?canary” url parameters. Love the idea so did make a first shot at the implementation, it looks like this → Imgur: The magic of the Internet I did explore how this could work, also in Go, and I can see how implementing the zip folder download feature is much simpler to implement than extracting the archive. We both know that this “extracting on the server” is an illusion with FTP, but net2ftp and MonstaFTP can also do it (albeit poorly). People expect that they can download an archive of, say, a script from a site, upload the zip file to their account with the file manager, and then extract it on the server. Like you said, to each their own, and Filestash definitely has a few extremely strong points going for it. I can’t for example figure out how to download files or folders from the directory listing without using Ctrl+Click (there are some action buttons when you hover over a file but Download is surprisingly absent) and there is no upload button in the interface (you have to drag and drop - no idea how that works on mobile).Īnd there is no archive extraction functionality, which means that while Filestash provides good tools to export a website, it doesn’t provide any tools to help import them.īut that’s my opinion. My main complaint is the interface and the lack of buttons on it. I’ve considered running an instance for InfinityFree as well, but there are a few points where Filestash falls short I think. That’s the number one complaint I see with MonstaFTP and something FileZilla doesn’t do well either. You can just click Download on an entire website folder and you just get the entire thing as a zip, regardless of the size. I was especially impressed by the folder download function. That’s great news! Filestash is a cool project and definitely has some benefits when compared to both FileZilla and MonstaFTP. Pretty cool in my opinion, there’s tons of stuff an online FTP client enables but at the end of the day it’s what you are used to and prefer From there, they can write some html, css and javascript for their class straight from the application which they can access both from their school and from home even though the actual FTP isn’t exposed on the internet. On a related note, there’s a couple school I’ve seen using Filestash to teach kids programming, typically the teacher did setup an FTP server and the students connect onto it under a directory named after them and without being given the details of the actual server. Personally I use it for my parent and grand parent to see my kid growing up as we’re 16 000km away from them, that mean I have made shared links protected by password and they can see all the thumbnails with all the pictures we’re sharing with them, the kind of things that would have been impossible with Filezilla as you would need to download things one by one and their internet connection isn’t very good. I tried to get my mum to use it a long time ago but she never could, hence me developping Filestash to make a Dropbox like experience for every possible file transfer protocols. Filezilla is a old but very fine software if you’re technical enough to appreciate it. ![]()
