Online File Repository System?


I'm looking for a way to host files on a server and be able to browse them online, but would rather it be something open source.

Any recommendations?

I've used https://filebrowser.org/ and it's okay. I've also Seafile, but my current setup is sftp clients (Transmit nowadays) and Syncthing if I need the files on multiple computers.

Depending on what you're looking for, this is the kind of thing that P2P protocols were made for.

Python2's SimpleHTTPServer was what it said on the box.

Python2's httpservr is more complex:

Good luck.
