Half of an AirDrop substitute
Flair is written with one goal: make it easier to get files off an iPhone/iPad/etc.
Personally, I hate messing around with cloud file hosting or iTunes file sharing if I want a file from my phone on my computer. However, I don't own a Mac and can't just AirDrop myself files. This has always been an annoyance.
One day, I was looking through Workflow/Shortcuts on iOS and noticed there was a block that would send an HTTP request to a server of the user's choosing. It turns out, it's possible to POST a homemade server any file you want from the share sheet with the right Workflow/Shortcuts setup, which is very convenient indeed.
This is the receiving server. It can create files.
You can pack as many file operations as you'd like into a single request.
Requests are formatted as JSON. The fields appear as follows:
{
"1": { //must be a unique value for each action listed
"TYPE": "FILEMOD", //always FILEMOD
"ACTION": "___", //one of APPEND, CREATE, WRITE or REMOVE
"TARGET": "___", //filename
"EXT": "___", //[optional] file extension
"BINARY": true/false, //is data being sent base64 encoded binary?
"DATA": "___", //payload
"BREAK": true/false //[optional] for append operations, add newline after appending?
}
}
- REMOVE action is not implemented and may be removed (yeah, yeah) in future - too much potential for destruction
- TARGET may include extension for simplicity - Workflow has trouble concatenating strings so EXT will be appended if present
This is intended for secured, local network use only. There is no encryption or authentication. Data is sent as plaintext (binaries are base64 encoded).
This is intentional, it keeps complexity down and limits processing required on the sending end.
Do not use this over the Internet.
Do not use this on public or work networks.
Do not share your classified CIA documents with this.
You have been warned, this is a toy. It will work locally and that's all it was designed to do.
