# File/Folder Upload Bot





A dead simple Telegram bot to upload your local files by file path or folder

path. Can be used as a backup helper. Originally, I created this bot to automate

backing up my files to Telegram while I change or reinstall my Linux distro. For

example, if you have a directory of videos, you can use this bot to upload them

for you. With some slight modifications, you can make it upload as you want.

With a [local bot API server](https://github.com/tdlib/telegram-bot-api) you can

also make it support files upto 2GB in size.





### Demo usage preview



It's a bit older preview, but it still almost the same thing. The command

`/folder` has been changed to `/upload` after adding the support for both files

and folders.







- [x] It would be cool to have index messages of the uploaded files. (in groups

      and channels)

- [ ] ZIP/RAR/TAR support?

## Setup

You need [Deno](https://deno.land/) to run this bot. I created this bot on

v1.18.2. Also, I recommend setting up a

[local bot API server](https://github.com/tdlib/telegram-bot-api) and increasing

your file size limit.

**1. Clone the repository**

```bash

git clone https://github.com/dcdunkan/folder-upload-bot

cd folder-upload-bot

```

**2. Configure the `.env` variables**

You can either set them in a `.env` file in the root of this repo folder, or you

can set them using `export ADMIN_ID=1234567890` in your terminal.

- `BOT_TOKEN`: Telegram Bot token. Get yours from https://t.me/BotFather.

- `ADMIN_ID`: The user ID of the owner. Because- you know, you don't want other

  people downloading your private files, right?

- `API_ROOT`: Set this to the URL of your local api server, if you have one.

**3. Run `bot.ts`**

```bash

deno run --allow-net --allow-read --allow-env bot.ts

```

- `--allow-net`: For internet access.

- `--allow-env`: For accessing required ENV variables.

- `--allow-read`: To read files from your machine.

If you have everything done right, your bot should be running, and you should

see a message `" started."` in your console.

But if you're still having issues, please open an issue
