# GoServe - HTTP File Server

Quickly download files and folders from computers on the local network

## Why

I found Python's quick local network file server to be useful for transferring files in a pinch. The only problem is you cannot download folders. GoServe quickly zips folders before sending them. It also looks a bit nicer than the default Python file server.

## Installation

`go get github.com/evan-buss/go-serve`

## Usage

```

Usage of go-serve:

  -home

        Sets the base file server directory to your home directory

  -port string

        Change the server's port (default "8080")

  -showDots

        Enable to make dotfiles visible

  -unsafe

        Sets the base file server directory to the root '/' directory. Use with caution.

```

## Development

In order to package go-serve as a single executable, it makes use of the go-bindata utility. 

This transforms the HTML template into a plain `*.go` file. If you make changes to the HTML template, 

you must recompile it.

1. `go get -u github.com/go-bindata/go-bindata/...`

2. Run `go-bindata data/`

3. `bindata.go` is generated.
