file sharing web app

you can upload, download, delete, etc

1. sudo pip install tornado
2. python filehub.py

then it's up and running on localhost:8888

by default FileHub handles file upload/download with tornado itself, for fast-setup consideration

but tornado is not so efficient in serving static files and especially uploading files (limited by RAM or so, people say)

so FileHub comes with nginx support

you can easily switch to nginx:

1. install nginx with nginx upload module

• notice: this module doesn't support newest version of nginx, I'm using nginx 1.2.9 and it works fine

2. put nginx.conf to /etc/nginx/site-enabled/ (may differ for different OS)
3. change the following fields in filehub.conf on your needs:

• root in location ^~ /static/
• alias in location /download/
• upload_store in location /upload/ (make sure you create it)

4. uncomment static_server = 'nginx' in config.py

that's it

files will be uploaded to files/ folder right in FileHub root directory by default

you can change that by modifying files_path in config.py

this may be useful if you want to store files on another disk
