Description:

kpf provides simple file sharing using HTTP (the Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol), which is the same protocol used by web sites to provide
data to your web browser. kpf is strictly a public fileserver, which
means that there are no access restrictions to shared files. Whatever
you select for sharing is available to anyone.

kpf is designed to be used for sharing files with friends, not to act
like a fully-fledged web server such as Apache. kpf was primarily
conceived as an easy way to share files with others while chatting on
IRC (Internet Relay Chat, or "chat rooms".)

Typical usage: kpf is set up to serve files from the public_html
folder in your home folder. You wish to make a file available to some
people with whom you are chatting online. Rather than send them each
an email with the file attached (some may not even be interested,) you
copy the file into your public_html folder and announce to those
listening that your file is available at
