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 directory with directory index

 * file upload via webinterface

 * HTTPS with on the fly generated self signed SSL certificates

 * HTTP basic authentication

 * serving files/directories as on request generated tar files

Install

-------

Via pip

```shell

pip install servefile

```

After installation either execute `servefile --help` or `python -m servefile --help`

Standalone:

If you don't have pip available just copy `servefile/servefile.py` onto the target machine, make it executable and you are ready to go.

```shell

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sebageek/servefile/master/servefile/servefile.py -O servefile

$ chmod +x servefile

$ ./servefile --help

```
