About copyparty
copyparty is a file server you run yourself, shipped as one file. It serves folders through a web interface with accelerated resumable uploads and deduplication, and also speaks WebDAV, SFTP, FTP and TFTP, so other devices and clients can connect with the protocol they already support.
It adds zeroconf discovery, a media indexer and thumbnails. It suits people who want a quick way to share or collect files on a home network or server without setting up a larger cloud suite.
