npx hfs@latest
Show is a web interface offered by HFS to display/play the file content, but it also adds a few features, like playing files in sequence, shuffle, and more.
Open, instead, gives the file to the browser; it's equivalent to you pasting the link in the browser. Sometimes the file is displayed/played, and sometimes it is downloaded. It's called "open" because the browser will open the file if the format is supported, but otherwise it will download it. At the current stage, there is no reliable way for HFS to know in advance if the browser will download the file.
HFS is not responsible for playing; it just asks the browser to play the file. If it doesn't play, 99% of the time it's because the browser doesn't support it, and you cannot fix that. File extension is NOT the only variable, because inside an mp4 file (for example) you can have different codecs, and only some are supported. Check Chrome's and Firefox's supported formats. Starting with version 0.55, there's a plugin called "unsupported-videos" that can partially solve this problem by transcoding those videos in streaming (on the server).
Maybe you are used to services provided by a company, where you share data using their address.
With HFS there's no such company in between; you are the server, so people reach you by your address.
If you don't like the numeric IP address, you can get a domain, which is just an alias for your IP. Some are free, some aren't. HFS doesn't offer domains, so you can search for one online. After you get one, refer to our guide to set it in HFS.
From the file list, access the file-menu (by default is just a click on the file name), then right-click on "Download", and click "Copy link".
