• Upload files
• Basic Authentication
• Transport Layer Security (HTTPS)

	-d	The web root directory	(default: current working path)

TLS options:
	-s	Use TLS
	-ss	Use a self-signed certificate
	-sk	Path to server key
	-sc	Path to server certificate

Serve from your current directory

goshs

Serve from another directory

goshs -d /path/to/directory

Serve from port 1337

goshs -p 1337

Password protect the service

goshs -P VeryS3cureP4$$w0rd

Use TLS connection

Self-Signed

goshs -s -ss

Provide own certificate

goshs -s -sk server.key -sc server.crt
