Fileport runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 292 installs a week from npm. Last commit 27 Oct 2026.
Sandboxed file access: read, write, edit and search in allowed dirs.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Fileport every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
