fs-stream-websocket

fs.createReadStream and fs.createWriteStream over a websocket, assumedly in a browser. Uses websocket-stream for file streaming.

This module is incomplete, and has no security or sandbox for restricting file read/writing.

Usage

In the client:

var fs = require('fs-stream-websocket'); // gives you fs.js
 
// optional, defaults shown
fs.config({
  host: window.location.host,
  prefix: '', // Added after host as a prefix
  protocol: 'ws:'
})
 
// This will be streamed from the server.
fs.createReadStream('somefile.txt', 'utf8').on('data', function(chunk) {
  console.log(chunk);
});

On the server:

var fsserver = require('fs-stream-websocket'); // gives you server.js
var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer();
var wss = new WebSocketServer({server: server})
 
// optional, defaults shown
var config = {
  root: process.cwd() // directory to use for file root (you can get out with ..)
}
 
fsserver(wss, config);
