This is a simple flask app / cli tool that serves your current folder to share files from the host to the client browser or upload to host from a client browser.
To install on GNU/Linux, Debian / Ubuntu / Linux Mint:
sudo python3 -m pip install web_share_ftp
To install on Windows:
python -m pip install web_share_ftp
To start the server:
web_share_ftp serve
To access server from another device, find your local ip by checking ifconfig in GNU/Linux and ipconfig in windows.
And of course I could use http.server for serving the files but I somewhat wanted to do it myself.
Here's a web UI view of the flask app:
