Introducing SWFT - Simple Web-based File Transfer! 📁✨

In today's digital age, file sharing has become an integral part of our daily routines. Whether it's sharing documents for work, sending photos to friends and family, or collaborating on projects, having a reliable and user-friendly file sharing solution is crucial. That's where SWFT - Simple Web-based File Transfer - shines, and the best part? It's open source!

The SWFT Advantage

SWFT is a lightweight and intuitive web-based file sharing service that simplifies the process of sharing files with others. With its impressive set of features, it's poised to become your go-to file sharing solution. Let's take a closer look at what sets SWFT apart:

Seamless File Uploads and Shareable Links

SWFT makes uploading files a breeze. Whether it's a single document or a collection of photos, you can quickly and easily upload your files to the platform. Once uploaded, SWFT generates shareable links that you can send to your recipients. It's a straightforward process that eliminates the need for complex setups or software installations.

Customizable Links for Personalized Sharing

One of SWFT's standout features is its ability to customize shareable links. Instead of sharing long and cryptic URLs, you can assign user-defined names to your links. This personal touch makes sharing files more professional and accessible.

Time-Limited File Sharing

Privacy and security are paramount when sharing files online. SWFT allows you to set a specified time period for file retention. After this duration, your files are automatically deleted. This feature ensures that your shared files have a limited lifespan, adding an extra layer of security and privacy to your file sharing.

Support for Command-Line Users

SWFT caters to all types of users, including those who prefer command-line tools like curl or wget. This versatility means that tech-savvy individuals can seamlessly integrate SWFT into their workflow. Here's an example command using curl to upload a file and customize your shareable link:

curl -X POST -F "file=@path/to/your/file" -F "link=my-custom-link" https://www.swftlink.com/upload
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Simply replace path/to/your/file with the actual path to your file and my-custom-link with your preferred link name. This command allows you to harness the power of SWFT directly from the command line, making file sharing a breeze for tech-savvy users.
