QuickShare (qs) is a variant of the (now legacy) SimpleHTTPServer present in python 2.x. It allows one to share quickly directories by opening a http server. qs supports both python2 and python3.
You can define an upload rate limit to prevent the clients from using all your bandwidth and it automatically searches a free port if the given or default one is taken.
Sharing is fun, but it quickly becomes a pain when dealing with multiple operating systems, platforms and unexperimented users. Nowadays, almost everything has a web interface, why should'nt we use it?
Usage: qs [-h] [-p PORT] [-r RATE] [--no-sf] [FILE]...
Options:
-h, --help Print this help and exit.
-p, --port PORT Port on which the server is listening.
Default is 8000
-r, --rate RATE Limit upload to RATE in ko/s.
Default is 0 meaning no limitation.
--no-sf Do not search a free port if the selected one is taken.
Otherwise, increase the port number until it finds one.
--version Print the current version
Arguments:
FILE Files or directory to share.
Default is the current directory: `.'
If '-' is given, read from stdin.
If 'index.html' is found in the directory, it is served.
docopt https://github.com/docopt/docopt or "pip install docopt"
The simplest is to use
pip install qs
or, in this directory,
python setup.py install
