OS X and Linux syntax may differ, check the help within the tool.sfk httpserv [-h[elp]] [-port=nport] [-rw] The SFK Instant HTTP Server for easy file transfer. default behaviour since sfk 1.9.8: * the current folder AND SUB FOLDERS are made accessible. use option -nosub to disable. * just ONE CLIENT (browser etc.) can connect at a time. only for trusted environments! sfk httpserv is intended only for personal file transfer between two machines that the user has control of, within a trusted LAN environment. it should not be used to offer files in the internet. if security is important then do not use sfk httpserv but a full scale web server like Apache. options -nosub do not list folder names, allow no access to files in sub folders. -rw allow write access with upload of files. -nolist do not provide a content listing, but change any access to "/" into "index.html". includes -nosub to disable sub folder access. -deep only after -nolist: allow access to files in sub folders, for html references. -port=n use other port than default, e.g. -port=81. -port2=n alternative port, used if first port fails. use -port2=0 to disable alternative port. -raw send no http reply header, just raw content. -headers show incoming request headers. -startdir x set default subdir to redirect to if a client connects for the first time, requesting '/'. -rawctype send content-type 'application/octet-stream' for every binary data, instead of detailed types like video/mp2t for .ts -style=f set css file to extend server styles about filename character encodings only filenames with characters of the system codepage are supported. for details type: sfk listcodes sys names with chars beyond that cannot be accessed. see also sfk ftpserv -h the SFK Instant FTP server. sfk wget a web file download command. examples: display a simple web page sfk webserv -nolist no file listings, load index.html if present. examples: easy file down- and upload sfk webserv make current folder, and all sub folders, accessible for reading and downloading. sfk webserv -rw same as above, but also allow upload of files. sfk webserv -nosub do not show sub folders, do not allow access to files in sub folders. (sfk 1.9.7 default behaviour) How to copy any file between Windows and Linux machines: If the target machine has ANY connection to a local network: - on the source machine, where you have SFK already, type sfk httpserv -port=9090 within the directory from which you want to transfer files. - then, on the target machine, try to open a web browser and to access http://othermachine:9090/ OR type wget http://othermachine:9090/yourfile If that fails (no browser, no gui, no wget command), check if there exists an "ftp" command on the target machine. If so, try: SFK Instant FTP Server for easy file exchange - on another machine where you have SFK already, type sfk ftpserv - then, on the target machine, type ftp othermachine and if the login succeeds, try dir bin get yourfile - if ftp connections fail to work, check if the "ftp" client on the target accepts the command passive then try to "get" again (ftp creates a new connection per file download, which is often blocked by firewalls. the passive command changes the way in which those connections are created.) How to get SFK up and running anywhere: Download the executables for Windows, Linux/lib6 or Linux/lib5 By browser: - http://stahlworks.com/dev/swiss-file-knife.html then click on one of the top links to either download binaries instantly, or look further on sourceforge: - http://sourceforge.net/projects/swissfileknife/ OR On a Linux text console, use one of these: Instant binaries: - wget http://stahlworks.com/dev/sfk/sfk (Linux lib6) - wget http://stahlworks.com/dev/sfk/sfk-lib5 (Linux lib5) Whole distribution package in a .zip (insert version for nnn): - wget http://stahlworks.com/dev/sfk/sfknnn.zip Make sure your system has the real Info-ZIP unzip command, in version 5.50 or higher (just type "unzip" to find out). If nothing is available, get one of these: - wget http://stahlworks.com/dev/unzip-linux-lib6.exe - wget http://stahlworks.com/dev/unzip-linux-lib5.exe OR Apple Macintosh and 64-bit Linux in general: - there are no binary distributions so far, but you may compile the source code easily, even if you're no software developer. first, type "g++" to find out if a compiler exists on your system. if so, download the source code, contained in the sfknnn.zip, from http://sourceforge.net/projects/swissfileknife/ then extract that by "unzip sfknnn.zip", and take a look into do-compile-unix.bat or type: Mac compile: g++ -DMAC_OS_X sfk.cpp patch.cpp inst.cpp -o sfk Linux 64-bit compile: g++ sfk.cpp patch.cpp inst.cpp -o sfk How to prepare the SFK binary under Linux: - after download, you have to type chmod +x sfk-linux.exe to enable execution (the 'x' flag) of sfk. Then simply type ./sfk-linux.exe to get it running (the "./" is often needed as the PATH may not contain the current directory "."). Where to place the SFK executable: Recommendation for Windows: - create a directory structure c:\app\bin then rename sfknnn.exe to sfk.exe, and copy that to c:\app\bin . If you use the "sfk alias" command later, the created alias batch files will also be placed into "c:\app\bin". - extend the Windows Shell Path set PATH=%PATH%;c:\app\bin - make sure your Windows Shell supports command autocompletion and Copy/Paste of text (the QuickEdit and Insert setting), otherwise it is very hard to use! read more by typing sfk help shell - further tools can be installed parallel to "bin" into c:\app This way you avoid the long, blank-character-contaminated, inefficient default paths like "C:\Program Files". Recommendation for Linux: - type "cd" then "pwd" to find out what your account's home directory is. - within your home directory (e.g. /home/users/youruserid/) create a directory "tools" mkdir tools then rename sfk-linux.exe to sfk, and copy that into the tools dir. - extend the PATH like export PATH=$PATH:/home/users/youruserid/tools - then you should be able to run sfk by typing "sfk". By default, there are no colors, as it is not possible to autodetect the background color under Linux. If you like colorful output, type "sfk help color" and read on how to set the "SFK_COLORS" variable (read it careful! if you set a wrong "def:" value, you may end up with white text on white background)
