Updog is a simple, lightweight alternative to traditional file sharing methods like SFTP or FTP. It is a small HTTP file server designed to quickly and easily share files with friends, colleagues, or clients. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Updog on MXLinux.
Open the terminal application on your MXLinux system. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T or by clicking on the Terminal application icon from the Applications menu.
Install the dependencies required to run Updog by entering the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install curl
Download the Updog installation script from the official Github repository by entering the following command:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sc0tfree/updog/master/updog > updog
Make the downloaded script executable by running the following command:
chmod +x updog
Move the downloaded script to the /usr/bin directory by entering the following command:
sudo mv updog /usr/bin
Verify that Updog is installed correctly by running the following command:
updog
If Updog is installed correctly, you should see the following output:
USAGE: updog [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [--] [DIRECTORY]
That's it! Updog is now installed on your MXLinux system. You can now start using it to quickly and easily share files with your friends, colleagues, or clients.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
