Welcome!

Simple HTTP Server is an Android app that lets you host a local HTTP server to share files or prototype web apps on your phone, tablet, or Android TV.

Features

  • Share folder contents over your local network via HTTP
  • Web-based file uploads
  • Basic folder management (create, rename, copy, cut, paste)
  • Text file editing in web UI
  • RESTful API for programmatic interaction
  • User authentication (Session based, Basic auth)
  • Configurable redirect rules

Getting Started

Basic usage requires no configuration except selecting a folder to share. The app will automatically start a server on your device's IP address and a 8080 port. You can access the server from any device on the same network by typing the server's URL in a web browser.
