What is filebox

filebox is an app script made to upload and download files from servers.

I made this tool a long time ago to download files from my seedbox, but i decided to rewrite it. filebox works on "any" server, and is not intended to be used only with a seedbox. You can also use it to upload and download any files to/from your servers... you could then, share your server "upload" folder with your friends.

dependencies

• bash
• rsync
• sshfs

How to install ?

Create folders from list below and to avoid sudo for non root user, use chown. Then, chmod 755 filebox so that it can be started

# Create and own folders
sudo mkdir -p /etc/filebox && chown -R $USER:$USER /etc/filebox
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/filebox && chown -R $USER:$USER /var/lib/filebox

# Copy executable filebox file:
sudp cp filebox /usr/local/bin/filebox
sudo chown $USER:$USER /usr/local/bin/filebox
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/filebox

Files and Folders configuration

• /etc/filebox/ (file: filebox.conf (filebox configuration))
• /var/lib/filebox/ (scripts, readme...)
• /usr/local/bin/ (file: filebox (executable))

How to use it ?

Once installed, start configuring your server using:

filebox -C

You will be asked to add at first time only LOCAL Folders, one per category file:

• Music
• Video (Private)
• Video (Public)
• Ebook
• Generic / Document

And filebox will also ask you to add a default server and give its:

• user access
• IP
• Download server Folder
• Upload server folder
• Upload LOCAL Folder

You can also add more servers, using your desired (server name), so that you can

# if no (server name), filebox use (default) first configured server
filebox -C (server name)

The server password is not asked by filebox; you will have to write it each time filebox needs to mount your server folders.

Private configurations files and folders (created by filebox)

• $HOME/.mnt/filebox/Downloads/(server name) < mount point
• $HOME/.mnt/filebox/Uploads/(server name) < mount point
• $HOME/.config/filebox < (config private files)

Downloading files

To start downloading files from your server, type:

filebox -g

A file list will appear with item numbers. You can download one or several files and folder by answering the question next to the list. If you want to download item 1 to your local music folder and item 2 to your public video folder, just answer: 1m 2p

filebox will check for free space before downloading. A reserved 10Go free space on your local HOME (configurable in /etc/filebox/filebox.conf) is set.

Uploading files

To upload ALL files from your (Upload LOCAL Folder)/(server name), to your specific server folder, type:

filebox -S

In that (Upload LOCAL Folder)/(server name) you could put all your torrent files, but whatever you want, so they can be uploaded to your server.

filebox will check for free space on server before uploading. A reserved 5Go free space on your server (configurable in /etc/filebox/filebox.conf) is set.

Do not forget to unmount your mounted points using:

filebox -U [OPT] (server name)
