    Serve a password-protected file for FREE

    A Next.js project to serve a password-protected download link

    Authors

    Few years ago I made this little project to solve my own problem. I needed a solution to make a file publicly downloadable, but

    it should be FREE.
    the files are password-protected.
    the files can be directly downloaded, no download page.
    the files can be downloaded from script or command line.

    I couldn't find anything that meets those requirements. So I made this project that allows me to store the files in private GitHub repository and serving them through Vercel, both of which are FREE.

    Today I updated it to Next.js 14.


    By the way, I'm making a book about Pull Requests Best Practices. Check it out!
