A simple LAN File Server , with Electron

You can use this simple app as a local lan file sever Support different kinds of file types.

Scenarios：

• App development: your app may need to download some packages, you can use this app to provide test package file(*.zip...)
• Simple file share, Watch movies from your computer at home by your phone(need to in same lan)

Choose folder - set port number or use default(9876) - Click start button .

Then you can visit your file from http://[your computer's ip in lan]:[port]/[file name in folder]

I began to learn js just recently, so there may be some bugs or 'bad code', issues are welcome~
