Python Simple File Server

This is a simple Python script that can be used to serve a single file over HTTP. It's a quick and easy way to make a file available for download to other machines. It will later be used to serve files over 0kn mixnet for example :P

Usage

If no arguments are supplied, then following will ask user for input for filename path, port and verbose mode.

python fileserve.py

You can also provide the information as command-line arguments:

python fileserve.py <filename> <port> <verbose>

• <filename>: The name of the file you want to serve. This is a required argument.
• <port>: The port you want to serve the file on. This is optional; if not provided, the default is 1337.
• <verbose>: Whether to print information about incoming connections. This is optional; if not provided, the default is False.

Example

Here's an example of how to use the server:

python serve.py myfile.txt 8080 True

This will serve myfile.txt on port 8080, and it will print information about incoming connections.

Dependencies

This script requires Python 3. It uses the built-in http.server and socketserver modules, so no additional Python packages are needed. However, it does import a function from the get_ip.py script, which is included in this repository.

Note

This server is intended for quick, temporary file serving in trusted networks. It should not be used as a production server or for serving sensitive data. Please use a proper web server like Nginx or Apache for that purpose.
