Woofing files over a network

There are lots of ways to share a file or two over a network (e.g. Samba, Apache, etc.), but Woof (Web Offer One File) tries to make it a little easier:

[Woof] assumes that everybody has a web-browser or a commandline web-client installed. Woof is a small simple stupid webserver that can easily be invoked on a single file. Your partner can access the file with tools he trusts…

And it uses INI style config files… which is always a plus IMHO.

    That’s actually really cool. I just tested it here, going from my home server to the laptop and it worked without a hitch. Nice.

    Yeah, it’s not a bad idea. Definitely an interesting solution to a common problem.

    I usually end up copying stuff over to my home server and grabbing it via apache. :)
