설명

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!

Seems to work

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.

It works, but does not support UTF-8

Only works for English characters.

Doesn’t work well with media

My tablet refused to recognize small mp4 files I have in a folder in my phone or iPad. Also no bonjour support so you always must use an ip address… not that it matters if it’s not worth starting up anyway.

EDIT:: yes it’s worth the review since it doesn’t work for it’s stated/intended purpose.
