Details

1. Control render logic

The default render logic is:

• If request for a folder, rendering the directory listing.
• If request for a file, rendering the file.
• If request target does not exist, returns 404.

The --render-* options change the render logic:

• --render-index: If request for a folder, rendering index.html in the folder. If the index.html file does not exist, return 404.
• --render-try-index: Like --render-index, rendering the directory listing if the index.html file does not exist, other than return 404.
• --render-spa: If request target does not exist, rendering /index.html

2. Path level access control

duf -a <path>@<readwrite>[@<readonly>]

• <path>: Path to protected
• <readwrite>: Account with readwrite permission, required
• <readonly>: Account with readonly permission, optional

* as <readonly> means <path> is public, everyone can access/download it.

For example:

duf -a /@admin:pass@* -a /ui@designer:pass1 -A

• All files/folders are public to access/download.
• Account admin:pass can upload/delete/download any files/folders.
• Account designer:pass1 can upload/delete/download any files/folders in the ui folder.

Curl with digest auth:

curl --digest -u designer:pass1 http://127.0.0.1:5000/ui/path-to-file
