fshs

Like `python3 -m http.server`, but with a simple interactive access control, and support for asynchronously serving simultaneous multiple connections. Oh and this is easier to type.

 (File System HTTP Server)

Usage

fshs [laddr]
       ^-- default to ":8080"

Serve current directory on HTTP.

• Requests from loopback addresses are severed without questions.
• Other requests go through a (very unscalable) interactive access control.

why?

I needed a one-line thing like python3 -m http.server for quickly transferring files between servers when scp and rsync are too slow. I wanted it to work well with axel so it fully utilizes network bandwidth. So I started this simple utility. As a bonus point, it also features a simple interactive access control (which is apparently not scalable to anything other than personal use). Oh and this is easier to type.
