Updog is a replacement for Python's SimpleHTTPServer. It allows uploading and downloading via HTTP/S, can set ad hoc SSL certificates and use HTTP basic auth.
The last version allows to generate a QR code to share the link and also allows to display just image files in a more friendly way.

Installation

Install using pip:

pip3 install updog2

Usage

updog [-d DIRECTORY] [-p PORT] [-qr] [-q] [-i] [--password PASSWORD] [--ssl] [--version] [DIRECTORY]

Argument	Description
-d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY	Root directory [Default=.]
-p PORT, --port PORT	Port to serve [Default=9090]
-qr, --qr	Show QR code to access the page
-q, --quiet	Do not display the QR code in the webpage
-i, --images	Show the images in the directory
--password PASSWORD	Use a password to access the page. (No username)

Notes

This project is a fork of updog by sc0tfree. The original project is no longer maintained, so I decided to fork it and keep it up to date.
The principal changes I made can be found in the CHANGELOG.
