When uploading larger files, cgi.FieldStorage decides to store the files in an unnamed temporary file in /tmp while parsing the form-data. This is counter-intuitive and might not work, if the partition hosting /tmp/ is too small. Therefore, we overwrite FieldStorage's make_file() method to use the targetDir as upload path. While we're at it, we also use NamedTemporaryFile instead of TemporaryFile, because that lets us use os.link() to create a "copy" of the file-data without writing it to disk a second time. This does not work for small data, because small data is kept in an BytesIO object and thus never written to file automatically. For this case, we keep the old code, that's writing down files manually. We have to inline-define CustomFieldStorage, because FieldStorage will instantiate a new FieldStorage instance for parsing the parts of a multipart/form-data body and thus we cannot pass targetDir via __init__() argument.

Servefile
Serve files from shell via a small HTTP server. The server redirects all HTTP requests to the file, so only IP and port must be given to another user to access the file. Its main purpose is to quickly send a file to users in your local network, independent of their current setup (OS/software). Besides that it also supports uploads, SSL, HTTP basic auth and directory listings.
Features:
- serve single file
- serve a directory with directory index
- file upload via webinterface
- HTTPS with on the fly generated self signed SSL certificates
- HTTP basic authentication
- serving files/directories as on request generated tar files
Install
Via pip
pip install servefile
After installation either execute servefile --help or python -m servefile --help
Standalone:
If you don't have pip available just copy servefile/servefile.py onto the target machine, make it executable and you are ready to go.
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sebageek/servefile/master/servefile/servefile.py -O servefile
$ chmod +x servefile
$ ./servefile --help
