Flask-fileserver

Serve files from your filesystem

Features

• SHA-256 login
• Configuration file
• Quarantine mode to prevent "bruteforcing" passwords
• Logging

Usage

$ git clone https://github.com/jaxke/flask-fileserver/
$ cd flask-fileserver  
$ export FLASK_APP=main.py  
$ flask run  

Open Firefox at http://0.0.0.0:5000/(if hosted locally) or http://[IP of server]:5000/. Without further configuration it's not going to reach outside of your local network(if port forwarding is not configured properly).
