  Start with custom cert:       ./goshs -s -sk <path to key> -sc <path to cert>
  Start with basic auth:        ./goshs -b secret-user:$up3r$3cur3

Examples

Serve from your current directory

goshs

Serve from your current directory with webdav enabled on custom port

goshs -w -wp 8081

Serve from another directory

goshs -d /path/to/directory

Serve from port 1337

goshs -p 1337

Password protect the service

goshs -b secret-user:VeryS3cureP4$$w0rd

Please note: goshs uses HTTP basic authentication. It is recommended to use SSL option with basic authentication to prevent from credentials beeing transfered in cleartext over the line.

Use TLS connection

Self-Signed

goshs -s -ss

Provide own certificate

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