shareffile v2.0.2

shareffile

Forget about that. shareffile is a simple tool to let you share a file (or a folder!) on your computer:

• without uploading it anywhere
• without configuring a web server
• without port-forwarding
• without stupid size or speed limits (besides those imposed by your ISP)
• without anything required on the receiving end (besides an HTTP client/web browser)

To use this:

1. Install Node.
2. Open a command-line. On Windows, this is Win+R, then "cmd", on OS X this is Applications > Utilities > Terminal, on Linux you already know how to do it or you wouldn't be using Linux.
3. Share a file or a folder: npx shareffile "/path/to/file/or/folder".
4. Give your friends the URL the above command produces.
5. Shut down the share when your friends are done downloading with Ctrl-C.

If you'd like to avoid using ngrok and just share your public IP instead, specify a port number as the second argument, e.g.: npx shareffile "/path/to/file/or/folder" 8080. You will have to forward this port in this case.

Also check out uploadffile, the same thing but in the other direction: have your friends share their files with you.
