there is a discord server with an @everyone in case of future important updates, such as vulnerabilities (most recently 2026-03-08)

recent important news

#1351 add .hidden support (thx @NecRaul!) beb634d 134e378
- cosmetic filter to exclude specific files from directory listings by adding their filenames to a textfile named .hidden similar to many linux desktop file managers
- the files are still easily available from various APIs; this is not a security feature, just a way to keep things neat and tidy
#1381 thumbnail pregeneration 7d6b037
- usually/generally not a good idea; readme explains it
shares: now possible to grant the . permission to see dotfiles 66f9c95

#1372 #1333 no thumbnails if the server OS was too old to have JXL support and the webbrowser was asking for JXL 1afe48b
#1363 new-version alert would only appear if the visitor had the Admin permission in the webroot specifically; now A in any volume is sufficient 6eb4f0a
66f1ef6 should have blocked mkdir too and now it does (thx @restriction!) ac60a1d
setting the nohtml or noscript volflags on the webroot would break the web-UI eb028c9
shares: the -ed global-option did not make dotfiles visible in shares 66f9c95
- the dots volflag still doesn't, but that one is intentional

tried to stop libvips from gobbling up ram while creating jxl thumbnails; didn't really work abdbd69
- jxl support in libvips is now default-disabled unless the libc is musl and the allocator is mallocng, which means alpine linux
  - in other words, libvips is still fully enabled in the iv and dj docker images if you do not enable mimalloc
- all other deployments will now have slightly slower jxl thumbnail generation by using ffmpeg instead (it's fine really)
  - new global-option --th-vips-jxl lets you force-enable it if you dare
volflags nohtml and noscript now available as global-options --no-html and --no-script 5f3b76c
- and the -ss paranoia option now also enables --no-html --no-readme --no-logues
--flo 2 now removes colors from logfiles even if -q is not set 8c6d8a3
update dompurify to 3.3.3 6a9e6da
docs:
- #1360 versus.md: more readable headers (thx @eugenesvk!) e71e190
- #1367 mention --shr-who in the readme (thx @TWhiteShadow!) 4688410

download link	is it good?	description
copyparty-sfx.py	✅ the best 👍	runs anywhere! only needs python
copyparty-en.py	✅ also good	same but english-only, no i18n
a docker image	it's ok	good if you prefer docker 🐋
copyparty.exe	⚠️ acceptable	for win8 or later; built-in thumbnailer
u2c.exe	⚠️ acceptable	CLI uploader as a win7+ exe (video)
copyparty.pyz	⚠️ acceptable	similar to the regular sfx, mostly worse
copyparty-en.pyz	⚠️ acceptable	english-only, no smb-server
copyparty32.exe	⛔️ dangerous	for win7 -- never expose to the internet!
cpp-winpe64.exe	⛔️ dangerous	runs on 64bit WinPE, otherwise useless
bootable usb	┐(ﾟ∀ﾟ)┌	a surprisingly useful joke (x86_64)
