this isn't neccessary just to share files.  it would be tcpserver(1)'s
task to do so, as it handles the connections for publicfile, which
sees network connections on its standard fd's.

i don't think tcpserver has such an option.  AFAIK binding to the IP
of some interface would make it complicated to connect thru the
loopback device, ie. you'd have trouble watching your server from
inside your setup.  this can only be interesting if you have several
inbterfaces to the outside, and you want to run several servers on
each IP.
