there is a discord server with an @everyone in case of future important updates, such as vulnerabilities (most recently 2026-07-06)

recent important news

v1.20.17 (2026-07-06) introduced csp nonces, possibly breaking some javascript-based plugins

🧪 new features

shadowing: filesystem-path //NULL will fully unmap a volume from the server's filesystem (no more /var/lib/empties/4 jank) 8884606

#1552 #1551 default-disabled the bwrap ffmpeg sandbox; 85a8cc9
- sandboxing can fail in too many creative ways (funky linux distros with funky filesystem layouts and policies) so autoconfiguring bwrap is not feasible
- to enable it, set use-bwrap: y after adjusting th-bwrap to match your OS/env
  - see the default th-bwrap value in --help on your server for a best-effort guess
always rotate (never overwrite) -lo logfiles on startup unless --rlo no 29e145f
thumbnails: save a tiny bit of I/O by not refreshing expiration-times if th-clean (expiration) is disabled anyways e15f292

download link	is it good?	description
copyparty-sfx.py	✅ the best 👍	runs anywhere! only needs python
copyparty-en.py	✅ also good	same but english-only, no i18n
a docker image	it's ok	good if you prefer docker 🐋
copyparty.exe	⚠️ acceptable	for win8 or later; built-in thumbnailer
u2c.exe	⚠️ acceptable	CLI uploader as a win7+ exe (video)
copyparty.pyz	⚠️ acceptable	similar to the regular sfx, mostly worse
copyparty-en.pyz	⚠️ acceptable	english-only, no smb-server
copyparty32.exe	⛔️ dangerous	for win7 -- never expose to the internet!
cpp-winpe64.exe	⛔️ dangerous	runs on 64bit WinPE, otherwise useless
bootable usb	┐(ﾟ∀ﾟ)┌	a surprisingly useful joke (x86_64)
