  OPTION

top_dir:
    can be ".", "/", or whatever directory in your files system.

host:
    host address (name or ip) -- use it if you want to specify explicitly, such as "localhost", which is useful for ssh port forwarding.

port:
    the port number you want to assign (internally determined if not specified). A complete URI is printed if the server is started.

-a: limits accesses from remote hosts only to the ones specified. Can be repeated multiple times. (Need the space between '-a' and the rest)
