I had a file I wanted to share with a friend. 
I set up a local server in my directory.
<pre><code class="lang-bash">$ npm install -g http-server 
$ http-server 
$ Starting up http-server, serving ./
Available on:
 http://127.0.0.1:8080
 http://192.168.1.15:8080
Hit CTRL-C to stop the server
</code></pre>
Then I set up a tunnel so anyone could download it  
<pre><code class="lang-bash">$ npm install -g localtunnel 
$ lt --port 8080
</code></pre>
Open the url in your browser you’ll see all the files in the zip. Zip the folder if needed. Then share the link with your friend.
