--- title: Sharing Websites and Files sidebar_position: 30 --- With `zrok` it is possible to share files quickly and easily as well. To share files using `zrok` use the `--backend-mode web`, for example: `zrok share private . --backend-mode web`. Running with this mode will make it trivially easy to share files from the directory which the command was run from. For example if you have a directory with a structure like this: ```shell -rw-r--r--+ 1 Michael None 7090 Apr 17 12:53 CHANGELOG.md -rw-r--r--+ 1 Michael None 11346 Apr 17 12:53 LICENSE -rw-r--r--+ 1 Michael None 2885 Apr 17 12:53 README.md -rwxr-xr-x+ 1 Michael None 44250624 Apr 17 13:00 zrok.exe* ``` The files can be shared using a command such as: ```shell zrok share public --backend-mode web . ``` Then the files can be access with a `private` or `public` share, for example as shown: ![zrok_share_web_files](../images/zrok_share_web_files.png) `zrok` will automatically provide a stock website, which will allow the accessing user to browse and navigate the file tree. Clicking the files allows the user to download them. `zrok` can also share a pre-rendered static HTML website. If you have a directory like this: ```shell -rw-rw-r--+ 1 Michael None 56 Jun 26 13:23 index.html ``` If `index.html` contains valid HTML, like this: ```html

Hello zrok

``` Sharing the directory will result in the following when you access the share in a web browser: ![zrok_share_web_website](../images/zrok_share_web_website.png) `zrok` contains a built-in web server, which you can use to serve static websites as a share.
