linkpwd

This is a link protector written in PHP with a MySQL database.

Users can enter a bunch of links (eg download links) and will get a link to share. The link can be protected with a password and/or captcha and can be auto deleted after specified time. Data is encrypted to prevent liability for any stored links.

linkpwd is a self hosted alternative to services like keeplinks.org, filecrypt.cc or former share-links.biz, linkcrypt.ws.

Don't want to run linkpwd on your own server? See the list of public instances if you just want to use it.

Installation

1. Download latest version from GitHub
2. Copy includes/config.example.php to includes/config.php
3. Edit includes/config.php with your configuration (only the MySQL database connection and DEFAULT_URL are required)
4. Set up your MySQL database with the database.sql file
5. You can set up a cronjob that calls the cron.php file daily to remove old data from the database

Upgrading

1. Create a backup of your database and includes/config.php file
2. Download latest version from GitHub
3. Remove all files from your webserver and upload the new files
4. Upload your old includes/config.php file
5. Call upgrade.php file in your webbrowser (if this file is available)
6. You can delete the upgrade.php file now (if this file was available)

Themes

linkpwd uses a Bootstrap css theme. You can get other styles for example from Bootswatch and replace the /assets/css/bootstrap.min.css file.

API

In includes/config.php set API_ENABLED to true and add an username and password to the API_KEYS array.

api-create.php

api-show.php

Request

Send a HTTP request to /api-show.php to retrieve links.

GET parameters:

• id
• key
• iv
• password = password for the link

required POST parameters:

• apiuser = API username
• apipass = API password

Response

The response is in JSON format:

{
  "status":404,
  "errormsg":"This is an invalid link."
}

It will give you a status code that is the same as the HTTP status code:

• 401 = the API username or password was invalid
• 403 = the password for the link was invalid
• 404 = either id/key/iv parameters are malformatted or there is no data for this id in the database
• 423 = the API is disabled in configuration
• 200 = success

And the JSON has an error message to describe the problem.
