Hi all!
Just a quick update on Scatola Magica - a self hosted file transfer and management system I built - it’s almost out of beta and I’d love to have people test it out and raise issues on github in case something is incredibly off.
Repo: github.com/fccview/scatola-magica
Quick youtube demo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvn0KHxzesE
enable subtitles in the demo for some commentary
Some quick highlights on the features I wanted that made me build this:
- Drag/drop anywhere to upload files/folders (yes even unzipped folders)
- Copy a file and paste it straight on the UI to upload it
- Copy some text and paste it straight in the UI to create a .txt file with the pasted text
- Click on the recursive button to see all files within all folders, multi select them all and download as zip (regardless from if they are in the same folder or not)
- Full on, easy to use encrypt/decrypt of files using the keys generated from the app OR any random public key I may want to use
- Encrypted file transfer
- (for my own taste) Slick UI.
The latest update features full on PGP encryption, transfer encryption (I don’t want to call it e2e because files do end up decrypted on the server unless you purposely upload them via the “upload encrypted file”, but it’s effectively e2e, they get encrypted on your browser - requires https/localhost - are transferred encrypted and get decrypted once safe on your server).
I also have added some fun theming options for people who, like me, grew up in the late 90s, bit of nostalgia never hurts. This is fully featured in the demo video
Some of you may know me for my two other apps I have published here jotty and cronmaster, been a developer for half my life and all I do in my spare time is code and create open source apps. Been into self hosting for quite a while and I have very specific tastes and want very niche features, so I always end up building my own applications, it’s a good way to keep up with latest tech and keep the love for my job alive.
Let me know if you like it! Super proud of this one, I am really enjoying using it in my homelab.

That sounds super interesting, does it keep the folder structure intact? Because having to zip a folder to be able to download a folder with its structure intact is super annoying.
Edit: Oh it’s just for uploading, still very cool though.
Sorry yeah, it’s just for uploading. I tried to add a download for folders without having to zip it (i also hate having to unzip it myself) but it really makes the whole process extremely slow, I’ll keep trying, it’s a VERY niche thing, would definitely make this even more unique tho haha
amazing work!
Thank you! ❤
