FlyDav — a compact WebDAV server

FlyDav is an open-source WebDAV server built for speed and simplicity. It has a very small footprint, avoids unnecessary features, and is appropriate for single users as well as teams. A working server can be up and running in about 30 seconds, making FlyDav a good choice when you need a quick, no-fuss file server.

Principal capabilities

  • Per-user root directories with isolated path prefixes so each account sees only its own file tree
  • Support for multiple user accounts to manage shared and individual access
  • Password-based authentication to protect files and control access

Security and upkeep

FlyDav includes basic protections such as credential-based access control and log rotation to help keep data secure and maintain operational hygiene. Its design emphasizes straightforward administration rather than complex feature sets, so routine tasks like rotating logs and managing users are simple.

Deployment and management

Because the server is minimal and lightweight, deployment is fast and resource-efficient. It’s well suited for short-term testing, lightweight production use, or instances where simplicity and low overhead are priorities. The small binary size reduces installation time and system impact.

Alternative option

Consider 3uTools Free as an alternative if you want a different toolset or additional utilities alongside WebDAV-style file handling.

Why users pick FlyDav

  • Fast setup and tiny footprint for rapid rollouts
