FileOps: HTTP server & a command line client

A simple file store service (HTTP file server and a command line client) that stores plain-text files in any programming language(Golang has been used here).

• The server would receive requests from clients to store, update, delete files, and perform operations on files stored in the server.

• The CLI acts as a client which can add, remove, edit and list files on the server.

• Add command should fail if the file already exists in the server.

• Client won't send a file if its content is already in the server(in some other file on the server) -> add a new file without having to send its contents

A CLI interface to an HTTP file server with multiple available commands. This CLI acts as a client which can add, remove, edit and list files on the server.

Usage

• Clone the repo
• Run go build
• Use ./FileOps serverto run the server

If you are using docker:

• docker build -t fileops .
• docker run -e PORT=8080 -p 8080:8080 fileops

While developing, we can run

go run main.go

• Running go run main.go, you can directly use the CLI of the app

go run main.go server

• Running go run main.go server would run the main HTTP file server, showing if its working fine.

Commands

add command - uploads the file(s) mentioned in the arguments to the server.

./fileops add a.txt b.txt

ls command will list all the files present on the server

./fileops ls

rm command - deletes the file mentioned in the argument.

./fileops rm a.txt

update command - updates contents of a file in server with the local file or creates a new file in server if it is absent

./fileops update a.txt

wc command - lists the count of all the words present in all the files

./fileops wc

freq-words command - lists top 10 most frequently used words by default.

You can change the order and number of responses

./fileops freq-words [--limit|-n 10] [--order=dsc|asc]
