there is a discord server with an @everyone in case of future important updates, such as vulnerabilities (most recently 2025-02-25)

recent important news

  • v1.16.15 (2025-02-25) fixed low-severity xss when uploading maliciously-named files
  • v1.15.0 (2024-09-08) changed upload deduplication to be default-disabled
  • v1.14.3 (2024-08-30) fixed a bug that was introduced in v1.13.8 (2024-08-13); this bug could lead to data loss -- see the v1.14.3 release-notes for details

🧪 new features

  • not this time

🩹 bugfixes

  • up2k: improve file-hashing speed on recent versions of google chrome e3e51fb
    • speed increased from 319 to 513 MiB/s by default (but older chrome versions did 748...)
    • read the commit message for the full story, but basically chrome has gotten gradually slower over the past couple versions (starting from v133) and this makes it slightly less bad again
    • hashing speed can be further improved from 0.5 to 1.1 GiB/s by enabling the [wasm] option in the [⚙️] settings tab
      • this option can be made default-enabled with --nosubtle 137 but beware that this increases the chances of running into browser-bugs (foreshadowing...)
  • up2k: fix errorhandler for browser-bugs (oom and such) 49c7124
  • #168 fix uploading into shares if path-based proxying is used 9cb93ae
  • #165 unconditionally heed --rp-loc 84f5f41
    • the config-option for path-based proxying was ignored if the reverse-proxy was untrusted; this was confusing and not strictly necessary

🌠 fun facts

  • this release was tested using an unreliable rdp connection through two ssh-jumphosts to a qemu win10 vm back home from the bergen-oslo night train wifi

💾 what to download?

download link is it good? description
copyparty-sfx.py ✅ the best 👍 runs anywhere! only needs python
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
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)
  • except for u2c.exe, all of the options above are mostly equivalent
  • the zip and tar.gz files below are just source code
  • python packages are available at PyPI
