uploadserver
uploadserver is a simple, standalone web application written in Rust that enables users to upload, share, and download files directly through a web browser. It serves as a free, open-source alternative to services like AirDrop and Dropbox, specifically designed for transferring files across devices on a local network without requiring any software installation on client devices. Functioning as a more sophisticated version of Python's built-in HTTP server, it provides ready-to-run binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring easy deployment across various operating systems. Users can execute the server with a single command to start file transfers on port 8000. The tool supports advanced features including command-line file transfers using cURL or wget, HTTP Basic Authentication for password-protecting uploads and downloads, and automatic SHA256 hash generation for file integrity verification. It is optimized for performance when compiled locally but also offers pre-built releases and statically linked bin
