Configuration

fileup uses a configuration file at ~/.config/fileup/config.ini to manage your upload settings.

Configuration File

Before you can start sharing your files, you'll need to create a configuration file at ~/.config/fileup/config.ini with the following structure:

# ~/.config/fileup/config.ini
[default]
protocol = ftp  # or scp
hostname = example.com  # or the Host from your ~/.ssh/config
base_folder = /path/to/files  # where files are stored on the server
file_up_folder =  # subdirectory in URL, can be empty
url = files.example.com  # the actual URL where files are accessible

[ftp]
username = my_user_name
password = my_difficult_password

[scp]
# If empty, will use your SSH config
username =
# If using SSH config, no need for these
private_key =
password =

Protocol Options

FTP Configuration

For FTP uploads, you need to provide both username and password in the [ftp] section.

SCP Configuration

For SCP uploads, you have two options: 1. Use your SSH config by setting protocol = scp and using a hostname from your ~/.ssh/config 2. Explicitly configure SCP by providing username and optionally private_key in the [scp] section
