ODU - One-time Download URL

This script provides a simple way to provide a single file to web clients.

The script has some basic obfuscation security to prevent random sniffers from stealing your file:

• On startup a random port between 10000 and 65525 will be generated and used by the HTTP server. The server will only be listening to this single port.

• On startup, a random UUID will be generated and used in the URL. If the correct UUID is not provided the script will return 404.

• The user must provide a password that is also required in the URL. If the correct password is not provided the script will return 404.

• The script is configured to automatically exit after a specified period. The default is 1 hour, but it can be disabled by setting the value to 0 or any negative number.

usage

why?

I needed to send a large zip file and didn't want to upload it to a cloud provider.
