filebutler is a small web app based on flask that allows you to upload(post) files over http/https and get a sha1 link in return. filebutler uses sqlite as backend to keep track of files.

Filebutler will return a json encoded message and throw http status codes. A successful upload will return status code 200 and a URL

{ "message": "http://upload.example.com/download?u=f1d2d2f924e986ac86fdf7b36c94bcdf32beec15" }

Perform management operations such as create/delete users.

available commands:

--add-user <username>
--delete-user <username>

Expired files that's never been downloaded won't get removed automatically. It's recommended to run --delete-expired-data periodically to clean storage and database from expired files
