Updog is a command-line replacement for Python's SimpleHTTPServer that serves a directory over HTTP/S with both upload and download support. It supports ad-hoc or custom SSL certificates, HTTP basic auth passwords, CORS headers, and configurable bind address and port.
Use cases
- quickly share files over the local network
- serve a directory with upload support over http
- replace python simplehttpserver with uploads
- serve files over https with an ad-hoc certificate
- password protect a temporary file server
- test web apps against a local server with cors enabled
When to choose
- you need a one-command temporary file server with upload/download
- you want quick HTTPS or basic auth on an ad-hoc file share
- you want a pipx-installable upgrade to SimpleHTTPServer
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade web server with performance tuning
- you need multi-user authentication or fine-grained access control
- you need a persistent, hardened file-sharing service
