static-file-http-server: a simple static server

static-file-http-server is a simple, zero-configuration command-line static server written in Rust. It is powerful enough for production usage, but it's simple and requires not configuration. It can also produce a single binary file that hosts your files independently which is what we recommend for production.

Usage with npx:

Using npx you can run the script without installing it:

npx static-file-http-server [options] [path]

Installation:

Using cargo:

cargo install static-file-http-server

Using npm:

npm install --global static-file-http-server
