what's BCHS? and why? too much of time in hand and willingness to self harm (-_-

This is archived post - work in progress

Last week I was asked by my friend how I'm uploading photos from phone to this server, it was bit of not soo user friendly process. I tather phone + pc together and run ftp server on phone so I could connect and download with pc then scp to the public directory here. Since I have moved out of my den very recently I'm meeting new people; having interaction, sharing things and it has reached a point I'm finding it troublesome of this repitative upload cycle.

In the past, I came across a cgi script having a web form wrapper to upload documents. It was from a user on tilde.institute. I should have stolen the script that time! 

        location "/cgi/*.cgi" {
                root "/htdocs/cgi/"
                request strip 1
                fastcgi {
                        param SCRIPT_FILENAME "/htdocs/cgi/test.cgi"
                }
        }

        location "/cin/*" {
                root "/htdocs/cin/"
                request strip 1
                directory auto index 
        }

test.cgi

#!/bin/sh

file=/tmp/m_final
cat > $file

filename1=$(head -2 $file | sed 's/^.*filename=//' | sed 's/\"//g' | sed 's/.$//' | tail -1)

lines=$(($(wc -l < $file)))

head -n $((lines - 1)) $file | tail -n $((lines - 5)) > /htdocs/dump_displ/$filename1


cat <<EOF
<h1>Upload Successful https://displ.nl/pub_listing/$filename1</h1>
EOF

exit 0
