A Rust app that shares the files of the folder it's put in via HTTP (on port 8080).
- Memory-efficient video streaming (thanks to contributor linuskmr).
- Protect the server with a custom username and password (HTTP Basic Authentication).
- View the files in a folder in 3 different views/layouts: a basic List View, Table View (sortable columns!) and Grid View (pictures shown, thumbnails for videos).
- ffmpeg-generated thumbnails for .mp4 files in Grid View.
- All (HTTP) requests, wrong password attempts and errors are logged to console with timestamp and IP address (the latter two in red color for emphasis).
- Unicode/UTF-8 support for file/folder names.
- Tested on iOS (support for HTTP range requests).
- If you haven't installed Rust / rustup yet, go to https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install and follow the instructions for your operating system.
