SFTPGo allows to share a single directory on demand using the portable subcommand:
sftpgo portable --help
To serve the current working directory with auto generated credentials simply
use:
$ sftpgo portable
Please take a look at the usage below to customize the serving parameters
Usage:
sftpgo portable [flags]
Flags:
-C, --advertise-credentials If the SFTP/FTP service is
advertised via multicast DNS, this
flag allows to put username/password
inside the advertised TXT record
-S, --advertise-service Advertise configured services using
multicast DNS

The format is:
/dir::pattern1,pattern2.
For example: "/somedir::*.jpg,a*b?.png"

--s3-upload-concurrency int How many parts are uploaded in
parallel (default 2)
--s3-upload-part-size int The buffer size for multipart uploads
(MB) (default 5)
--sftp-buffer-size int The size of the buffer (in MB) to use
for transfers. By enabling buffering,
the reads and writes, from/to the
remote SFTP server, are split in
multiple concurrent requests and this
allows data to be transferred at a
faster rate, over high latency networks,
by overlapping round-trip times
--sftp-disable-concurrent-reads Concurrent reads are safe to use and
disabling them will degrade performance.
Disable for read once servers

HTTPS
--webdav-port int 0 means a random unprivileged port,
< 0 disabled (default -1)In portable mode, SFTPGo can advertise the SFTP/FTP services and, optionally, the credentials via multicast DNS, so there is a standard way to discover the service and to automatically connect to it.
Here is an example of the advertised SFTP service including credentials as seen using avahi-browse:
= enp0s31f6 IPv4 SFTPGo portable 53705 SFTP File Transfer local
hostname = [p1.local]
address = [192.168.1.230]
port = [53705]
txt = ["password=EWOo6pJe" "user=user" "version=0.9.3-dev-b409523-dirty-2019-10-26T13:43:32Z"]
