I'm looking for a way to host files on a server and be able to browse them online, but would rather it be something open source.

Any recommendations?

Checkout https://awesome-selfhosted.net/tags/file-transfer---web-base...

I've used https://filebrowser.org/ and it's okay. I've also Seafile, but my current setup is sftp clients (Transmit nowadays) and Syncthing if I need the files on multiple computers.

Depending on what you're looking for, this is the kind of thing that P2P protocols were made for.

Check out https://syncthing.net/

Syncthing actually doesn't provide a way to view your files online, you have to set up an instance on your local computer then have the files synced to there and then view them locally. However, on the forums I have found links to something that people seem to recommend for viewing files online, a sort of enhanced web index: https://github.com/lrsjng/h5ai.

Python2's SimpleHTTPServer was what it said on the box.

Python2's httpservr is more complex:

Good luck.
