updog is a Python-based HTTP file server designed as a modern replacement for Python's built-in SimpleHTTPServer. It serves files from a directory with a clean web interface that supports browsing, downloading, and optionally uploading files.
The server provides features beyond basic file serving, including password protection for access control, SSL/HTTPS support, and a responsive web interface. File uploads can be enabled with the --upload flag, making it useful for quickly transferring files between machines on a local network.
updog is intended for development and ad-hoc file sharing, not production use. It starts quickly with sensible defaults and can be customized with command-line options for port, directory, authentication, and encryption.
