Same here, it's also by far the most convenient way I've found to share files between devices on my network.

Wait, how does that work? As far as I can see from the documentation, it can only serve on localhost, which to my understanding is only accessible from the single device it was launched on.

I think you must have misread the documentation [1], which says: "By default, the server binds itself to all interfaces."

If you serve on localhost you can usually access from other devices by using the "servers" ip address. So if your desktop where you're running the server has ip 192.168.1.10 then you can go to http://192.168.1.10 in the browser of another device on the same network.

Have you checked the full docs? Maybe it takes an optional parameter to specify the server machine's IP address or host name. Then others on the network could see it.

Not near a PC now.

Same for me. Although I just discovered `qrcp` which has been quite handy, and I'm sure there are many tools like it.

On plasma it also installs a right click shortcut to share directory from dolphin.

FYI: you can use https://file.pizza/ for sending the file outside the network.
