I frequently use `python -m http.server` on my LAN.
And if I can't be bothered to setup Python on the source host, or there are network complications, running uploadserver[1] on the destination host works great.
I'm wary of all these fancy tools with "magic" in their name, that rely on external relay servers. Even if they don't, I'm quite fond of the simplicity of plain old HTTP. I don't need anything more sophisticated, and in most cases, not even encryption.
netcat/socat would be another solution, but they're not as ubiquitous as Python and HTTP. And I can never remember the command incantations ':D
