Just place your files in $HOME/snap/qhttp/common and run qhttp and you're ready to go!
Ideal for simple HTTP needs like basic file transfers or quick experiments, with snaps built in sandboxing by default!
You can specify a port with: qhttp -p 12345, but remember you need to run with sudo for ports below 1025, and if you do, the files need to be in /root/snap/qhttp/common instead!
This snap is small, coming in at just 4KB by itself when the base snaps are already preinstalled! The q stands for quantum, as 4KB is the smallest possible possible size for squashfs and hence snaps!

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install qhttp, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install qhttp
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
