fsws

A simple Ruby-based file system web server for serving static files from a directory on OSX, Windows, or Linux.

It is intended for use in development for viewing statically-generated sites such as documentation (YARD), blogs (Jekyll), code coverage reports (SimpleCov), profiling reports, etc.

Alternatives include python -m SimpleHTTPServer, nginx, and Apache.

$ gem install fsws
$ fsws

Specify a port:

$ fsws -p 777

Allow external connections:

$ fsws -i 0.0.0.0

Serve files from another directory:

$ fsws -d ../foo
