uploadserver

6 23 0.0 Rust

Simple Rust file server which lets you upload, share, and download files from a web browser. Ready-to-run binaries for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Free/Open-Source alternative to AirDrop/Dropbox for transferring files on your local network without having to install anything. A more sophisticated version of `python3 -m http.server 8000`.

Project mention: LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-10

You first start one server on a desktop/laptop which has the software, and then any client (Android, iOS, PlayStation, Kindle, etc) with a web browser (no need to install any client software) can upload or download files from it.
You can download prebuilt binaries for x86-64 Linux, Windows, or Mac OS (sorry, no prebuilt binaries for Apple Silicon, but they could be added if there is sufficient demand) from https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver/releases/ or compile from source using a nightly rust toolchain if you prefer.
Compared to cloud services or `python -m http.server 8000`, this is extremely fast since the server is written in rust, it is fairly simple (compiled and stripped binary is typically less than 3MB), it sends everything over local LAN, it seems to handle large files (over 4GB) fairly well, and you only need to install the software on one machine.

1 21 3.6 Rust

A Secure file transfer utility & library. The library utilizes SPAKE2 for key negotiation over an insecure channel, and ChaCha20Poly1305 Authenticated Encryption to encrypt the file with the derived shared symmetric key. This enables two peers to transfer a file over any channel without needing to trust the intermediary relay. (by landhb)
