Start a web server on your mobile device and access it from other devices in your local network. FEATURES - Use folders stored locally on your iPhone/iPad or in iCloud - Serve static files and websites over HTTP - Run the server also while the app is in the background - Enable Directory Listing to browse the selected folder in your browser - Multitask in SplitView on iPad by eg. using the server and Safari at the same time - Add password to control access to shared content - Customize Directory Listing: theme, dotfile visibility, footer text HOW TO 1. Choose a folder and press “start” 2. Open the generated IP address in a browser on a device in the same WiFi network 3. Done, there is no third step! USE CASES - Quickly share files on your iPhone/iPad with other devices in the same WiFi network - Host a static website, useful for eg. software developers working on the go - Send files to devices that have limited connectivity features (eg. GPS navigation, gaming consoles etc) - Create a small media server for your household TIPS - The server works on and is visible to other devices only on the same WiFi network (ie. connected to the same router) - This is a static server which means can’t be used as eg. a PHP or NodeJS backend server - The Background Mode requires an audio track played while the app is not visible. Go to settings to pick from a number of pleasant nature sounds!}

I am so happy to have found a app that hosts web files locally, as I just could NOT find a app to do it well, but now I have! Overall this is a great app, it allows you to make a web server (or file server, your pick) on your LAN! This is extremely useful if you want to share webpages with someone or a household so that anyone can access the webpage. This is amazingly useful in web development. I only have one suggestion, I found this as a feature in VLC for iOS, and the feature is that instead of JUST having a IP address, it also broadcasts a normal URL to use! (In VLC if your phones name was “Mike’s iPhone”the URL would be “mikes-iphone.local”) I think it would be a nice option for free users. As for paid users, they could set a seperate URL that doesn’t pull from a device’s name. An extra benefit you could do with this is allow the user to choose their own TLD so it looks like a real website! But otherwise that’s it! Thank you for making this app. Edit: There is a bug that you can get a 403 even though “Directory Listing” Is toggled on, you can fix it by restarting the app though Oh! Also please fix the issue with CSS breaking on some webpages, or going straight to the index page in the file browser instead of looking at everything in that directory

This feature is a must to share files between devices if there is no internet connection

Technisch sollte es doch möglich sein, den Server zu aktivieren wenn man sich nicht in einem externen wifi befindet sondern nur im selbst aufgespannten Hotspot.

Bit limited to downloading only, and has no folder download support so folders must be compressed upfront. There are other smaller and more feature rich ones outhere in same pricerange. However DL is fast and supports older ios/pad versions.

Browser from another device just sees nothing and errors out. I tried a different, free open source app on an Android machine hosted some files and connection is immediate. Why did I even bother with a freemium iOS app to begin with? lol lesson learned; go Android.

Bought pro for full functionality. Had a weird bug where I used the app, changed some settings, disabled and re enabled directory listing, and then got 403 Forbidden when accessing the server. Was fixed with re-selecting the hosted folder, not closing the app and re opening. Would love to know if it is upnp/dnla compliant. Actually, I would just love to use this to host a portable media streaming server. When I access the videos, they download instead of stream.
