Woof - simply exchange files (via) Ultra simple file sharing for local networks: run “woof filename” to start a local web server which will serve up that file, just once, and then terminate. Can also serve up an entire directory as a compressed archive. Written in Python, as a single script which you can drop in to your ~/bin. “woof -s” serves the script itself, so you can easily pass it to someone who has a file you want.

    I changed find_ip to find_ip2 (more portable) and brutally hacked out the fork and wait calls.

  3. Nick,
    I have repeatedly been disappointed with the docs for the python command-line switches. One of these days, maybe I'll get a patch together.

  6. Thanks for making such a cool project. I've been checking the site for the Windows version, but I never left a comment about it. I know you are working hard and doing it for free so you shouldn't feel rushed or anything. Arizona Loan Modification
