❄️ coolhttpd 📁

Simple HTTP file browser

A HTTP server with basic authentication, Directory tree view and much more.

coolhttpd is my attempt to solve a part of my workflow

Everytime I need to copy X thing from one computer to another, I need to do either of these python -m http.server -p 8080 or cat file > nc -l 8080
