How to seed all the files inside a folder using the desk app? is this possible?

[hz0324]

I would like to seed all the files in side a particular folder, there maybe more than 1000 files.
I have tried to seed the folder, but it seed the folder as one.

Can I achieve this using the APP? Or do I have to do this programatically?

Thanks

Sadly , I find WebTorrent Desktop can only add file one by one. T_T

You could use the cli of webtorrent-hybrid to do this easily

$ npx webtorrent-hybrid seed /path/to/folder/*

(need npm installed)

You can do this programmatically, or as @KayleePop says, you can do it using https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent-cli.

However, you should note that WebTorrent doesn't manage resources efficiently enough at the moment to handle seeding 1000s of files IMO. If you need to seed that many files, you might want to look into web seeds. http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html
