# Na
> Share your files with people next to you without having to send them under the ocean and back again.
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/srdja/na.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/srdja/na)
[![License: GPL v3](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-GPL%20v3-blue.svg)](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0)

**Na** allows you to easily share files over a local network by serving the current working directory through HTTP.

Share files with people next to you without having to send them under the ocean or into space and back again.
## Usage

```
na [OPTIONS]
```

### Usage
1. Place the `na` executable into a directory that you would like to share with your local network
2. Run `na`

Once it's running, others will be able to access that directory through a web page and download/upload files
from it.
Navigate to a directory that you wish to share and run `na`. Once it's running,
you'll be able to access the files from that directory from any device that's on the same network and has
a web browser (or something that understands HTTP).

#### Building the project
`cargo build`

![demo](demo.gif)


## Options
```
-h | --help display help and exit
-d | --dir [PATH] specifies the path of the served directory (default is the working directory)
-p | --port [PORT] specifies the port number (default 8888)
-i | --interface [INTERFACE] specify the network interface to use (eg. `eth0`, `wlo0`, `localhost`, etc...)
-r | --enable-delete enables file deletions through DELETE requests (disabled by default)
-u | --disable-upload disables file uploads (enabled by default)
-s | --show-directory show the path of the served directory to client (disabled by default)
-l | --list-interfaces print a list of available network interfaces and exit
-o | --overwrite-file if enabled, uploaded files will overwrite existing files with the same name (disabled by default)
-6 | --ipv6 prefer IPv6 if available
-v | --verbose verbose output
```


## Using Na without a browser

#### Obtaining a list of available files

Lists of available resources can be obtained either in JSON at `/json`, or
in a simple list form separated by a newline `\n` at `/list`.


##### An example of obtaining a list of files in JSON form:
```
curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:9000/json
```


```json
[
{
"name": ".cargo-lock",
"url": "/files/.cargo-lock",
"size": 0,
"modified": "Tue, Aug 02 2016 02:08:53",
"modified_raw": 1470096533
},
{
"name": "na",
"url": "/files/na",
"size": 18404960,
"modified": "Wed, Aug 03 2016 04:36:33",
"modified_raw": 1470191793
}
]

```

##### An example of obtaining a simple list of URLs separated by a newline `\n`:
```
curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:9000/list
```

```
/files/.cargo-lock
/files/na
```

##### Fetching a file:
```
curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:9000/files/example.txt"
```

##### Uploading a single file:
```
curl --form "upload=@example.txt" http://127.0.0.1:9000
```
```json
[
{
"source_name": "README.md",
"saved_name": "README.md"
}
]
```

##### Uploading multiple files in a single request:
```
curl -F "upload[]=@example.txt" -F "upload[]=@example2.txt" http://127.0.0.1:9000
```
```json
[
{
"source_name": "README.md",
"saved_name": "README.md (1)"
},
{
"source_name": "build.rs",
"saved_name": "build.rs"
}
]
```

Deleting a file:
```
curl -X DELETE "http://127.0.0.1:9000/files/example.txt"
```
**note**: `DELETE` is disabled by default, so it needs to be enabled by passing the `-r` or `--enable-delete` flag to `na`


## Installation

#### Linux
Download **na**:
```
sudo curl -L https://github.com/srdja/na/releases/download/v0.2.0/na-linux64 -o /usr/local/bin/na
```

Make **na** readable and executable for all users:
```
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/na
```

#### Windows
Download the **na** [executable](https://github.com/srdja/na/releases/download/v0.2.0/na-win64.exe) and place
it into a directory that you wish to share, or you can put it into a directory that's in your `PATH` if you
wish to use it from the command line.

## Building the project

Currently Rust [nightly](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/downloads.html) is required to build the project.

- Build debug with `cargo build`
- Build release with `cargo build --release`
