pydirl

simple static webserver and directory listing built with Flask and Bootstrap

Did you ever used python3 -m http.server to quickly share files or serve static content? This is an improoved version with the following features:

• concurrent requests support (gevent)
• responsive interface built with bootstrap
• download folder as archive (allanlei/python-zipstream)
• intuitive command line interface
• exclude files and folder through regular expression
• request and debug logging
• single file mode

Usage

• Share the current working directory:

  pydirl
  

• Share the current working directory on custom port:

  pydirl -p 1235
  

• Share a specific subtree:

  pydirl /path/to/the/root/
  

• Do not show hidden file:

  pydirl --exclude="^\."
  

• Single file mode: share a single file

  pydirl ./my_file.ext
  

Once the server is up and running you can use a browser to navigate the shared subtree, download files and entire folders.
