#droppy A modern, node-based file server web application utilizing WebSockets for realtime updates. It supports dropping one or more files into the window, and with Chrome, directories can be recursively uploaded.

##Installation With node installed, run:

git clone https://github.com/silverwind/droppy.git && cd droppy && npm install

##Usage To start the server, run either

node droppy

or just

./droppy.js

By default, the server will listen on https, which can be configured in config.json. On first startup, a user droppy with password droppy will be created. To add more users, run ./droppy.js -adduser username password. To remove users, edit db.json (for now).

##Supported Browsers

• Firefox (last 2 versions)
• Chrome (last 2 versions)
• Internet Explorer 10 or higher

In case of Chrome and Firefox, slightly older versions may work resonably well.

##Configuration Configuration is done through the config.json file, located in the same directory as droppy.js.

###General options

• debug Skip resource minification and enable automatic CSS reloading.
• useHTTPS Whether the server should use HTTPS.
• port The listening port. For HTTPS, you may want to set it to 443.
• readInterval The minimum time gap in milliseconds in which updates to a directory are sent.
• filesMode The access mask with which files are created.
• dirMode The access mask with which directories are created.
• linkLength The amount of characters in a shortlink to a file.
• maxOpen The maximum number of concurrently opened files. 256 seems safe for Windows. On Unix, you can probably go higher.
• timestamps Adds timestamps to log output. Useful if your logging facility does not provide timestamps.
• httpsKey Path to your openSSL private key. Used in conjunction with useHTTPS.
• httpsCert Path to your openSSL cert(s). Used in conjunction with useHTTPS.

###Path options

• db Location of the user database file.
• filesDir The directory which serves as the server's root.
• incomingDir The directory which serves as the server's root.
• resDir The directory which contains the compiled resources and images.
• srcDir The directory which contains the html/js/css sources.
