Hi.

adsf is A Dead Simple Fileserver built on top of Rack. It is a  
replacement for heel, which has become rather annoying to use. adsf  
works similary to heel, but does not have browser auto-launching,  
directory listings and the ever annoying syntax highlighting.

Using it is simple:

> adsf # launches the server with . as web root at port 3000  
> adsf -r output # launches the server with ./output as web root  
> adsf -H thin # launches the server with the Thin handler  
> adsf -p 8080 # launches the server at port 8080 instead of 3000

You can find adsf at [http://adsf.rubyforge.org/](http://adsf.rubyforge.org/). Install it with  
RubyGems:

> sudo gem install adsf

Regards,

Denis
