Jirafeau 4.3.0 works fine with PHP 7.4, but not with PHP 8.0.
It is easy to install, does not need a database, and you can set how long the download shall be accessible, and also if only one download is possible or unlimited downloads within the set tmespan. A password can be set, but this is not mandatory.
A good solution for quickly sharing files on your own server/webspace, not that of a large corporation.
As long as I’ve been using it (several years), it has always worked fine.
Unfortunately, everyone who guesses the URL can use it, and you will not be informed by the system. There is no password protection, as far as I can see – you will have to use .htpasswd or whatever.
