File server

Concepts

  • Use the Deno standard library file_server.ts to run your own file server and access your files from your web browser.
  • Run Deno install to install the file server locally.

Example

Serve a local directory via HTTP. First install the remote script to your local file system. This will install the script to the Deno installation root’s bin directory, e.g. /home/alice/.deno/bin/file_server.

`

  1. deno install --allow-net --allow-read https://deno.land/std@0.84.0/http/file_server.ts

`

You can now run the script with the simplified script name. Run it:

`

  1. $ file_server .Downloading https://deno.land/std@0.84.0/http/file_server.ts...[...]HTTP server listening on http://0.0.0.0:4507/

`

Now go to http://0.0.0.0:4507/ in your web browser to see your local directory contents.

Help

Help and a complete list of options are available via:

`

  1. file_server --help
