Once installed run

harpoon

Now visit http://localhost.rocks:8080/ in your web browser!

###CONFIGURING

Harpoon allows you to configure and load your own settings using a config.js file located in your file send servers main directory. But before you do that navigate to the directly where you wish to run harpoon from then make a folder called files. All content is served from within the files directory.

For example: If you installed harpoon and wish to run it from /var/www/harpoon you would add /var/www/harpoon/config.js and /var/www/harpoon/files/

For an example configuration see the config.js distributed with this source.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to create your own unique serverSecret phrase in your configuration file.

###OPTIONS

• rfcname - the RFC server name
• localip - the local ip of the box (this is generally your publicly exposed ip)
• hosts - the hostnames & ip associated with your server
• peers - the harpoon peer servers if clustering
• filesDirectory - the directory to serve files from
• port - the port in which the file send server runs on
• maxLag - the maximum lag the server will allow before stopping new sends
• serverSecret - a hash that is unique to your server
• logging - enable or disable logging (true,false)
• basekbps - base send speed in kbps
• burstkbps - burst speed in kbps during file sends
• exts - array of extensions to allow file sends for
• picture - the default image to show when a file is missing

###STATISTICS By default harpoon comes with basic statistic information which can be viewed by visiting /ping and /status with the server running. Both of which return a JSON array of data pertaining to the server session and host computer.

###CONTRIB

Harpoon is made to replace existing file send servers such as nginx or litespeed. In our tests (data not yet available) we have noticed roughly a 2 - 4x speed increase and 2-4x cpu load decrease over nginx. Harpoon is open-source via the MIT license we encourage Forking.
