Personal file hosting

RachelMcAdams · March 13

I'm looking for a "solution" for 1-man file hosting. The main use case is just to upload a local document or picture and share it with friends. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Preferences:

Must have a web-based uploader, no need for fancy CSS
Preferably PHP-based
Manual management via SFTP is okay

I probably can whip out some quick scripts, but maybe there are already existing stuffs out there.

+1 Zipline for personal file hosting. It has nice dashboard (UI).

For more simple PHP Based, you can try something like this website https://x0.at

If you want something simple, why not go with the most simple of them all?

Single PHP file gives you the option to upload any file you want and you even get to use it to manage the files.

Word of advice, password protect the folder you keep the upload script in. That's the best way to ensure you don't get hacked. Don't rely on the PHP script's password authentication (if any) as there may be ways to circumvent that to upload files.
