srvdir allows you to turn any directory into a secure public file server. You can think of it like Python's SimpleHTTPServer, but with a TLS-secured public URL. It is similar to an on-demand public Dropbox folder.
srvdir is extremely simple to use. Serve the files in the current directory:
srvdir
Serve the files in a different directory:
srvdir /path/to/directory
Serve the files in two directories:
srvdir /path/to/directory /path/to/other/directory
Give the public url a custom name:
srvdir example:/path/to/directory
Require a username/password to access the file server:
srvdir -auth="user:password" /path/to/directory
Putting it all together, let's serve the directory at /usr/local on ulocal.srvdir.net and also serve the current directory at current.srvdir.net. Let's also make sure you need to enter a username and password as well:
srvdir -auth="root:12345" ulocal:/usr/local current:.
That's it!
Most of the code from srvdir is either a modified version of the standard library's http.FileServer or from the go-tunnel library: https://github.com/inconshreveable/go-tunnel
I'd love to add native support to serve the files over SFTP/FTP as well as HTTP.
