Features

fserv is in a very early stage of development, and so has a limited feature-set.

• Familiar explorer-like interface to navigate.
• Drag-and-drop files into browser to copy to server.

Set up

Create a virtualenv environment.

$ virtualenv --no-site-packages --distribute <directory>

Activate the virtualenv.

$ cd <directory>
$ source ./bin/activate.sh

Check out fserv into the virtualenv directory.

$ cd <directory>
$ git clone git://github.com/georgegoh/fserv.git

Install the dependencies.

$ cd fserv
$ pip install -r dependencies.txt

Modify the development.ini file for your environment.

base_path = /the/path/to/your/local/directory
store_name = Plain-Text-Name

Run the server.

$ paster serve development.ini

TODO

• Unit tests.
• Drop-and-drop files from browser to desktop.
• Delete files.
• CSS magic.
• Proper logging messages and formatting.
