HFS (HTTP File Server) is a self-hosted web file server that turns your computer into a file-sharing server, letting you share folders or single files via a virtual file system accessible from any browser. It includes an admin web interface, accounts, HTTPS, resumable transfers, and a plugin system.
Use cases
- share files from my computer over the web
- self-hosted file server without cloud upload
- serve a folder to friends via browser
- download a whole folder as zip
- limit download speed for file transfers
- password-protect shared files
- run a simple file server on windows
When to choose
- you want to share files directly from your disk with no cloud storage limits
- you need browser-based access with accounts, HTTPS, and resumable transfers
- you want a cross-platform server with an admin web UI and plugin ecosystem
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured production web server for hosting websites at scale
- you want cloud-sync features like file versioning or collaboration
- you need SFTP/FTP protocol support rather than HTTP
