This \u201cOpen-Source\u201d toolkit includes a FUSE module and a shell-like interface similar to FTP, enabling users to upload, download, access, and modify files stored on MediaFire through a command-line interface. This new toolkit will provide open-source enthusiasts and IT professionals with a lightweight and powerful tool for managing their files online.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the full kit on our Github via the link below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/MediaFire\/mediafire-fuse\">https:\/\/github.com\/MediaFire\/mediafire-fuse<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have tested these tools on several Debian and Ubuntu systems as well as FreeBSD.\u00a0 In principle, the code should run on other POSIX systems&#8211;including OSX.\u00a0 As with any initial release, there&#8217;s already a laundry list of features and enhancements that we are working on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mediafireblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/MediaFire-Fuse-Command-Line.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2810 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/mediafireblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/MediaFire-Fuse-Command-Line-1024x874.png\" alt=\"MediaFire Fuse Command Line in Action\" width=\"1024\" height=\"874\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.mediafire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/MediaFire-Fuse-Command-Line-1024x874.png 1024w, http:\/\/blog.mediafire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/MediaFire-Fuse-Command-Line-300x256.png 300w, http:\/\/blog.mediafire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/MediaFire-Fuse-Command-Line-768x656.png 768w, http:\/\/blog.mediafire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/MediaFire-Fuse-Command-Line.png 1319w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As an avid Linux user and open-source developer, the tools first took form a few years ago when a personal need arose to access my account without a browser.\u00a0 After sitting untouched for quite some time, it seemed like a matter of good stewardship and practicality to breath new life into it.
