Uploading Files

This app does not have a web-based uploader (by design, as it is meant to be a quick and dirty way to share files).

To upload:

• Simply drag and drop files into the /Uploads folder using your file explorer or terminal.
• Refresh the web page to see them appear.

---

Notes

• This is intended for local network use only — it is not secure for public internet use.
• Make sure port 6002 is open on your firewall if accessing from other devices.
• To change the port, edit snowflask.py.
