ViperTransfer is a lightweight, standalone server powered by Python3's built-in HTTP server. It allows you to serve files, upload via browser, and automatically handle filename collisions - All without a single external dependency.
- Smart Directory Listing Styled HTML UI that displays file names, sizes, and last modified timestamps.
- Human-Readable File Sizes Files are displayed in B, KB, MB, GB, etc., with clean formatting.
- Drag-and-Drop File Uploads Upload single or multiple files directly from your browser using a clean form interface.
- Safe File Saving Prevents overwriting by appending numeric suffixes to duplicate file names.
- No External Dependencies
Built entirely with Python's standard libraries (
http.server,cgi,os,urllib, etc.).
git clone https://github.com/LilSuperUser/ViperTransfer.git
cd ./ViperTransfer
chmod +x file-server.pyThis allows you to run the server from anywhere and serve the directory you are currently in.
file-server.py [port]
# or
python file-server.py [port]- If no port is provided, it defaults to 8000
- Example:
file-server.py 8080
http://localhost:[port]/
# if port is 8000 then
http://localhost:8000/
You'll see the directory contents and a file upload form.
-
The server binds to
0.0.0.0, making it accessible from all local network interfaces. -
To transfer files between two machines (on same network):
-
Start the server on machine A.
-
Find its local IP address (eg: 192.168.100.9)
-
From machine B, open:
http://192.168.100.9:8000 (or whatever port you used)
-
You can expose the server globally by using port forwarding - but do so with caution and proper security in place.
