🔧 Usage

It is important to keep your index.html and style.css files inside of the root folder of the compiled binary file. You can change the location in the scws.c file though. To run SCWS, do this (You can also leave the ip and port option empty to default to your local IPv4 and port 8888):

./scws [ip] [port]

When the server is running, you should get the following output:

[!!] Yay! Server is running on 0.0.0.0:8888

Now go to http://0.0.0.0:8888/ and see the following example website:
