This is a node.js command line utility that turns the current working directory into a pretty online file browser, available to all computers in the local network. It is an easy way to share a folder with your office buddies.

It is based on tutorialzine's file browser tutorial. See a live demo here.

Features:

• Beautiful css-only design.
• Responsive and retina-ready.
• Instant file search.
• Easy to install and use.

This utility is available on npm, so installation is a breeze. Use the -g flag:

npm install -g cute-files

To use it, cd into a directory, and run cute-files with an optional port.

Make the current folder available on <yourip>:3000 on the local network:

cute-files

Make the current folder available on <yourip>:12345 on the local network:

cute-files --port 12345

Files starting with a dot are assumed to be private and are not served.
