Sometimes there is a big file you want to send to your friend, or he wants to download from you. Like movie, archive or program.
Is there any simple, command-line, unix program that is simple as

$ share someData.tar.gz
Sharing...
192.168.1.123 is downloading file
Done!

while the other person can download like:

$ wget <myIp>
Connecting to <myIp>
Donwloading someData.tar.gz...
Done!

I don't want to give access to my whole PC via SSH, SCP or SFTP.
I don't want to play with groups and permissions.
Or maybe is there any way to open SFTP server just to one file/folder ?
If there isn't such program I will write it on my own, but I don't want to write something that is already written.

  • what about apache webserver? if you want to share files you could make them available in the www/ folder. the person you want could download it via get. You could resrtict access with .htaccess in case you want that
