servefile 0.5.0

Serve files from shell via a small HTTP server

Servefile

Serve files from shell via a small HTTP server. The server redirects all HTTP requests to the file, so only IP and port must be given to another user to access the file. Its main purpose is to quickly send a file to users in your local network, independent of their current setup (OS/software). Besides that it also supports uploads, SSL, HTTP basic auth and directory listings.

Features:

• serve single file
• serve a direcotry with directory index
• file upload via webinterface
• https with on the fly generated self singed SSL certificates
• http basic authentication
• serving files/directories as on request generated tar files

pip install servefile
