Surfer

Surfer serves static files and provides a web UI for managing them. It is for users who need a simple server for a collection of static files and prefer to handle file management through a web interface. The program combines two closely related jobs: serving files and giving users a web UI where those files can be managed. This gives Surfer a narrow focus on static content and file management. Surfer can fit a direct workflow in which files need to be managed and made available from one server. No specific paid product is known as its replacement. Its main limitation is scope: it is a simple static file server, so users looking for software beyond static file serving and web-based file management will need another program. Supported protocols, file formats, platforms, and deployment targets are not specified.
