File Server

The purpose of the project is to create a web server that supports multiple domains, a ban system, and logging capabilities.

Project Utility

This project is useful for serving files over HTTP with support for multiple domains, banning IP addresses, and logging requests.

Project Description

The file server is implemented using Node.js and allows configuration for multiple domains, MIME types, and logging paths. It also supports banning specific IP addresses.

Repository and Installation

Repository: File Server on GitHub

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Fulldroper/file-server.git

2. Install the dependencies:

   npm install

Setup

Edit the settings.json file to configure the server:

{
    "serverPort":"1337",
    "homeDir":"home",
    "logsPath":"./",
    "hosts":["localhost","my.new.domen.com","192.168.0.1"],
    "types":{
        ".js":"text/javascript",
        ".txt":"text/plain",
        ".css":"text/css",
        ".json":"application/json",
        ".png":"image/png",
        ".jpg":"image/jpg",
        ".ico":"image/x-icon",
        ".wav":"audio/wav",
        ".mp4":"video/mp4",
        ".zip":"application/zip",
        ".rar":"application/x-rar-compressed",
        ".iso":"application/octet-stream"
    }
}

Blocking an IP

Add the IP to banlist.json:

[
    "192.168.0.1",
    "192.168.0.2"
]

Adding a Domain

1. Add the domain to the hosts array in settings.json.
2. Create a folder named after the domain inside the homeDir.

Algorithm

1. Server Initialization:

   const http = require('http');
   const settings = require('./settings.json');
   // Initialize server with settings

2. Request Handling:

   http.createServer((req, res) => {
       // Handle request based on domain and file type
   }).listen(settings.serverPort);

3. Logging:

   const fs = require('fs');
   // Log request details
   fs.appendFile('log.txt', logData, (err) => {
       if (err) throw err;
   });

4. Ban System:

   const banlist = require('./banlist.json');
   // Check if the requester's IP is in the banlist
   if (banlist.includes(req.connection.remoteAddress)) {
       res.writeHead(403);
       res.end('Access denied');
   }
