file-browser-cli
Creates simple HTTP server to browse, download & upload files form your local system remotely.
The goal of this tool is to quickly create a remote server to browse and upload files. Most of the time I'll be simply using http-server to quickly create a directory browser but it doesn't really have any option to upload files or to download bulk files. So I created this simple application - a lightweight http file browser with no bloat.
This is meant to be used as a quick and simple remote file browser. THIS IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE A HIGHLY SECURE FILE SERVER. USE WITH CAUTION.
