copyparty

copyparty is a portable file server for Windows that brings file hosting and transfer functions into a single application. It is distributed as one file and does not require additional dependencies. The software is open-source, making its licensing model relevant to users who want to inspect or use the project under an open-source license.

Its transfer features include accelerated uploads that can be resumed when interrupted. It also supports deduplication, which is designed to avoid storing duplicate file content. For compatibility with different file transfer workflows, copyparty provides WebDAV, FTP, and TFTP support. These protocols allow the same file server to fit use cases that rely on different client tools or transfer methods.

copyparty includes zeroconf support for network discovery and a media indexer for organizing media content. It can generate thumbnails and includes additional thumbnail-related functions described as thumbnails++. These capabilities place file serving, media browsing, and transfer protocol support within the same portable package.

As a Windows catalog entry, copyparty is suited to users looking for an open-source file server that runs on that platform without a separate dependency installation. MirrorNest mirrors the official build directly onto its own storage rather than presenting an altered distribution. Before publication, the mirrored build is scanned for malware, giving the catalog entry a defined distribution and screening process.
