File Sharing

With zrok it is possible to share files quickly and easily as well. To share files using zrok use the --backend-mode web, for example: zrok share private . --backend-mode web.

Running with this mode will make it trivially easy to share files from the directory which the command was run from.

For example if you have a directory with a structure like this:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 cd cd     2506 Jan 26 11:57 README.md
-rwxrwxrwx 1 cd cd     2971 Jan 26 11:57 CHANGELOG.md
-rwxrwxrwx 1 cd cd 41544024 Jan 26 12:00 zrok

The files can be shared using a command such as:

zrok share public . --backend-mode web

Then the files can be access with a private or public share, for example as shown:
