i found one on fdroid but it was old and the directory selector was broken and couldn't really work outside of it's default for some reason, it also rendered the page i'm trying to use really weirdly, like it wasn't sending some file over and the css got borked.

Found one that wasn't foss, installed it, opened it, "buy premium to unlock this feature", uninstalled it.

I just use termux + the simple http server built into python

[–] Mucki@feddit.org 5 points 4 months ago

Install termux from f-droid. Then install nginx inside termux. Works great.

I recently wanted to do the same and came upon ShareX, it did a pretty good job.

GitHub F-Droid

Sorry I don't have any suggestions, but I'm very curious about your use case. What led you to needing this?

Are you doing web dev with just a phone? Impressive

thankfully no, i'm just trying to run a Twine game on it

Not open source but CX File Explorer can make an FTP server for you.

[–] abominable_panda@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Amaze and Material Files are open source and can create an ftp server

Just did a search on fdroid

Servdroid looks 11 years old

LWS is about 5 which might still work

If you really need a web server you can possibly run one on termux, not sure if root required though

If its just file sharing, see the other comment

could try a flask webapp


from flask import Flask, send_from_directory
import os

app = Flask(__name__)

# Specify the directory you want to share
SHARED_DIRECTORY = 'shared_files'

@app.route('/files/<path:filename>', methods=['GET'])
def get_file(filename):
    """Serve a file from the shared directory."""
    try:
        return send_from_directory(SHARED_DIRECTORY, filename)
    except FileNotFoundError:
        return "File not found", 404

@app.route('/')
def list_files():
    """List files in the shared directory."""
    files = os.listdir(SHARED_DIRECTORY)
    files_list = '\n'.join(files)
    return f"<h1>Files in {SHARED_DIRECTORY}</h1><pre>{files_list}</pre>"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)

I've been using FX File Browser for the occasional need to share stuff localy - it opens a local web server where you can browse files on the phone.
Though it's not foss and I am afraid that functionality is behind the plus version.
