telegramFileManager

File Manager using pyrogram library that uses Telegram servers for storing files. This program has an advanced ncurses interface, ability to transfer files larger than 2G and more!

Features

• Ability to show downloading and uploading progress
• Ability to transfer files larger than 2G (telegram's limit)
• Intuitive and fast scrolling when selecting uploaded files
• Fast downloading and uploading of files (10Mbit UP | 15Mbit DOWN)
• Ability to upload/download multiple files at once (after 4 there if no speed benefit)
• Canceling and resuming file transfers
• Interface that is similar to rtorrent

Installing requirements

pip3 install -r requirements.txt -U

Or if you want to install them manually:

• Pyrogram (pip3 install -U pyrogram) The stable release will probably not work, you need to use the development branch instead (pip3 install -U https://github.com/pyrogram/pyrogram/archive/develop.zip)
• TgCrypto (pip3 install -U tgcrypto) (Recommended: used by pyrogram)
• PyInstaller (pip3 install -U pyinstaller) (Bundles the scripts into one executable)

Testing (currently only for GNU/Linux)

The test generates a random file, uploads it to telegram, downloads it and then checks if the 2 files are the same

• Create a file in the src folder named config.py with the contents:

api_id = <app_id>
api_hash = <api_hash>

You can obtain these by following Getting app_id and api_hash

• Do make test to transfer a 3G file
• Additionally, you can give the test_filesize=<size> argument to specify size
• and/or test_args=resume(1|2) argument to check soft|force cancelling
• Example: make test test_filesize=10G test_args=resume1
• Your phone number and confirmation code will only be asked the first time you run the tests, after that they will be saved as a1.session in the Makefile directory

Installing tgFileManager

• Do make install to compile the dependencies and install the program in /usr/local/bin (if you don't have root permissions, give install_path=<dir> argument where <dir> is a path you can write to and is in your $PATH variable)
• When you first run tgFileManager, you will be asked for your phone number and confirmation for every session from 1 to max_sessions (which by default is 4), there is no easy way to automate this, also you will need your own app_id and api_hash

Warning: You may get a FloodWait exception when doing this, if you get that you need to force close the program, wait for the time specified, then run the program again.

Running tgFileManager

These keybinds can be changed by editing ~/.config/tgFileManager.ini

• Uploading: pressing u will prompt you for the file path and what you want it's path to be in the database.
• Downloading: pressing d will show you the list of files you have uploaded and their total size.
• Cancelling: selecting the transfer you want to cancel then pressing c will soft cancel the transfer (will wait current chunk to finish transferring then will exit, this doesn't work with single chunk transfers)
• Resuming: this will run at the start or the program or you can run it with r to handle cancelled transfers, also shows transfers cancelled by the program quitting abnormally
• Quitting: press Ctrl-Q

Getting app_id and api_hash

• Log in to your Telegram core
• Go to 'API development tools' and fill out the form
• You will get the api_id and api_hash parameters required for user authorization
• Enter your api_id and api_hash in your config file

Donation

This project takes a lot of my time and donations would really motivate me to continue working on this. You can donate either in bitcoin bc1q8h4r5vlje7yu4ya3vlslzju0td8zy0hayu0k6y or to my Payeer P56752419, any amount helps and i will be very thankful to you.

TODO

• Make the fileSelector interface look like an actual file tree (Currently shows all the files in one list)
• Make the program work with windows.

This is my first big project so please tell me if there are any mistakes I made.
