Usage

**Start the file explorer with the following command:

httpshare [--port <port>] [--directory <path>]

Options

• --port: Set the port to serve the files (default: 8080)
• --directory: Specify the directory to serve (default: current directory)
• --log: Write logs into a file (default: disabled)

Then, open your web browser and navigate to:

http://localhost:<port>

You will see a modern web interface to browse, manage, and preview files in the current directory.

API Endpoints

The application provides RESTful API endpoints for programmatic access:

• POST /api/upload - Upload files
• DELETE /api/delete?path=<path> - Delete files/folders
• POST /api/rename - Rename files/folders
• POST /api/mkdir - Create new directory
• GET /api/search?q=<query>&path=<path> - Search files

Example: Upload a file using curl

curl -F "file=@myfile.txt" -F "path=." http://localhost:8080/api/upload

Example: Delete a file

curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:8080/api/delete?path=myfile.txt"

You will see a simple web interface to explore and download files in the specified directory.
