miniserve

I can understand why people would find `ut` convenient. That said, I would caution against trying to include too much functionality. What is too much? I don't have a clear idea on this yet. But I would probably argue that including HTTP functionality is going too far. Why? Because there are already amazing tools dedicated to this already. On the client side, see `xh` [1]. On the server side, see `miniserve` [2]. Both have approximately 7K stars on GitHub. It seems wiser to let specialized projects focus on a particular functional area; this is better for users and less work for maintainers.

I use miniserve (< 5mb) just because I can never remember the python incantation. https://github.com/svenstaro/miniserve

For those who have Rust, I like miniserve[1]: cargo install --locked miniserve miniserve path/to/directory [1]: https://github.com/svenstaro/miniserve

Also "For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now! " https://github.com/svenstaro/miniserve

+1 for miniserve. If you already have the Rust tooling set up, it's only a cargo install away. If not, you can just download a static binary. https://github.com/svenstaro/miniserve/releases

I'm a big fan of miniserve[0]. It can do files, directories (including on the fly tgz or zip downloading), authentication and upload [0]: https://github.com/svenstaro/miniserve

It depends in whether I want to send it to someone in the local network or through the internet. For local network: I use miniserve ( https://github.com/svenstaro/miniserve ) which is just a simple http server. There are similar tools for when I want to share it from the smartphone. Through the internet it really varies: Sometimes it is Firefox send ( https://send.firefox.com/ ) For photos, I use a self hosted photo solution piwigo ( https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo ) In earlier days it has been a self hosted nextcloud ( https://github.com/nextcloud/server ) instance. I still use it when the files are getting too large for Firefox send. I also tried the already mentioned wormhole but this works only with tec ppl.
