# Share file with ipfs
|
||||
|
||||
**Warning:** Only tested serving the file, not downloading it
|
||||
|
||||
1. [Install ipfs](https://ipfs.io/#install)
|
||||
2. Initiate ipfs main folder `ipfs init`, not sure why but this is required for following commands
|
||||
3. Serve a file `ipfs add {filepath}`. It should return something like this
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
added QmdsEVLRXioANssEVLRXYioANsGtANsGtRXYioANsGtAWZ file.md
|
||||
37.62 KiB / 37.62 KiB [===========================] 100.00%
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. Start server with `ipfs daemon`
|
||||
5. Download file from any device `ipfs get /ipfs/QmdsEVLRXioANssEVLRXYioANsGtANsGtRXYioANsGtAWZ` <-- that's the hash returned from previous command
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ls
|
||||
QmdsEVLRXioANssEVLRXYioANsGtANsGtRXYioANsGtAWZ
|
||||
```
|
||||
Note the filename is just the hash, the original filename is lost.
|
||||
|
||||
*Haven't researched if there's an easy way to persist the filename*
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What led to learning this
|
||||
|
||||
- [Random news of ipfs in HN](https://blog.ipfs.io/2020-09-24-go-ipfs-0-7-0/). It just reminded me I've never tried it out.\
|
||||
And in recent months I've had difficulty sharing files p2p
