ipfs

Inter Planetary File System. A peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol to make the web faster, safer, and more open.

• Add a file from local to the file system, pin it and print the relative hash:

ipfs add {{filename}}

• Add a directory and its files recursively from local to the file system and print the relative hash:

ipfs add -r {{directory}}

• Save a remote file and give it a name but not pin it:

ipfs get {{hash}} -o {{filename}}

• Pin a remote file locally:

ipfs pin add {{hash}}

• Display pinned files:

ipfs pin ls

• Unpin a file from the local storage:

ipfs pin rm {{hash}}

• Remove unpinned files from local storage:

ipfs repo gc
