uploadserver

Minimal upload-only HTTP server. No dependencies beyond Python 3 stdlib.

Features

• Drag & drop + file picker
• Upload progress bar
• Toast notifications for success/failure
• Dark mode support
• No directory listing, no downloads — upload only

Install

git clone https://github.com/genericJE/uploadserver.git
cd uploadserver
chmod +x uploadserver.py

# optional: symlink into PATH
ln -s "$(pwd)/uploadserver.py" /usr/local/bin/uploadserver

Usage

uploadserver.py          # port 8000
uploadserver.py 9000     # custom port

Listens on 0.0.0.0 so it's reachable from other devices on the network.

Upload directory defaults to ~/Downloads. Override with:

UPLOAD_DIR=/tmp/uploads uploadserver.py
