Run the program in which folder/directory you want to share. You can copy the program to that directory and run the program from there, or specify the directory through command line argument (see README.md).

The next step is identifying your device's local IP address. You can do it in numerous ways, I won't bother writing here. Google it if you don't know.

Then go to a browser from your target device where you want to download the files to and visit the server device's IP address with the port number 8000. For example, if your server IP address is 192.168.0.101, visit 192.168.0.101:8000 from another device and you should see all the items of the directory in which you are running the server.

Thanks Mosharraf for helping out. If you can help further, please guide how to add authorization to access the files.

Just pass a command line argument --auth user:pass when running the server, where user is the username you want, and pass is the password. See the README.md for other options.

Hey, can someone help me, I am running the server on my Windows PC and I am able to access the server on the same machine using Chrome browser by following Mosharraf's instructions mentioned above. But I cannot access the server on my iPhone using Chrome browser using the "server IP address:8000" (I am connected to the same network on both devices).
