WebServer

1.0.4

Powershell WebServer is a module that starts a webserver (without the need for IIS).
Powershell command execution, script execution, upload, download and other functions are implemented.
* Start-Webserver starts a webserver listening on port 8080 with binding to localhost only
* Start-Webserver "http://+:8080/" "C:\Data" starts a webserver on port 8080 with binding to all IP addresses with base dir C:\Data

You may have to configure a firewall exception to allow remote access to the chosen port, e.g. with
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Powershell Webserver" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=8080
