And there is 'woof' (packaged by Guix), it's a small HTTP server too, very handy. I use it very often at work to share files with my collegues. It serves the file only once unless specifed otherwise, and 'woof -U' provides an upload form, so that users can upload files without having to install anything. And it auto-tar directories.
