A simple static file HTTP server written in Rust, built on axum/tokio. It supports directory listing, file upload, basic auth, range requests, compression, CORS, and optional PKCS#12 HTTPS.

Use cases

  • serve static files over http from a directory
  • quickly share files on my local network with upload support
  • preview a static site locally with spa fallback
  • serve files with basic auth protection
  • test range requests and gzip compression locally

When to choose

  • you need a fast, single-binary static file server with directory listing and upload
  • you want optional HTTPS, CORS, or basic auth without complex configuration

When to avoid

  • you need a production-grade web server with reverse proxying or load balancing
  • you need dynamic server-side rendering or an application framework
