  • 1.5.0

PSFserver 1.5.0 by Krishna Noutiyal is a Windows-native HTTP file server crafted entirely in PowerShell, offering a single-file, zero-dependency solution for instantly exposing any local folder through an embedded web server. Designed for developers who need a friction-free way to test web assets, share builds across a LAN, or perform ad-hoc file transfers without installing heavyweight services, the utility launches from an elevated PowerShell console, binds to a user-specified port, and presents directory contents through a responsive dark-theme interface accessible from any browser on the network. Because the executable script carries no external dependencies beyond the Windows management framework, it can be dropped onto locked-down workstations, CI runners, or virtualized labs and be running within seconds, making it equally valuable for classroom demonstrations, quick office exchanges, or emergency recovery scenarios where traditional SMB or FTP access is blocked or impractical. The lightweight codebase also invites customization; advanced users can embed authentication logic, SSL certificates, or routing rules directly in the PowerShell layer without recompiling binaries. Released as the inaugural 1.x build, version 1.5.0 represents the only public milestone to date, yet its semantic versioning scheme leaves room for future enhancements while preserving the minimalist philosophy that defines the project. PSFserver is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
