A Swift executable equivalent to Python's SimpleHTTPServer — with extra features!
Make sure Xcode 10.2 or higher is installed first.
$ brew install Samasaur1/core/simpleswiftserver
$ mint install Samasaur1/SimpleSwiftServer
$ mint install Samasaur1/SimpleSwiftServer
Use CLI
$ git clone https://github.com/Samasaur1/SimpleSwiftServer.git
$ cd SimpleSwiftServer
$ swift run server
SimpleSwiftServer has two modes: a file downloader (to easily share files) and a directory browser. It also allows you to specify your port.
The default port is 1234, the default mode is a directory browser, and the default path is the current directory.
Opens a directory browser from the current directory on port 1234
$ server
Opens a directory browser from the current directory on port 4321
$ server 4321
Opens a directory browser from the Desktop
subdirectory on port 1234
$ server --browse Desktop
Opens a file downloader for the file Package.swift
in the Desktop subdirectory on port 1234
$ server --file Desktop/Package.swift
Opens a directory browser from the root directory on port 46264. Note: this is a terrible idea, as any confidential files (tokens, keys) are publically accessible. Share the smallest amount of your system that you need.
$ server 46264 --browse /
