ruff/README.md

Ruff provides a pop-up web server to Retrieve/Upload Files Fast over LAN, inspired by WOOF (Web Offer One File) by Simon Budig.

It's based on the idea that not every device has , but just about every device that can network has an HTTP client, making a hyper-simple HTTP server a viable option for file transfer with zero notice or setup as long as somebody has a copy of RUFF.

Why create RUFF when WOOF exists? WOOF is no longer in the debian repos and it's easier to go get a tool than it is to hunt down Simon's website for the latest copy.

Installation

go get git.tilde.town/diff/ruff

Usage

Assuming $GOPATH is in $PATH:

ruff "cool thing.jpg" # to send a cool file

and

ruff -u # to receive a cool file
