Security

This server is intended for temporary file sharing in trusted environments. The default bind address is 127.0.0.1; use --bind 0.0.0.0 only when you explicitly want other hosts to connect.

Uploaded file names are sanitized, and upload results and directory listings escape user-controlled text. Upload size is unlimited by default; use --max-upload-size MIB to set a limit when you need one in trusted environments.
