Ever find yourself in need to share file over the network quickly, but find yourself lacking time to setup a proper NFS or samba share? Here’s a way to do this with the good old Python CLI.
- First, go to the directory that you want to share, for example ~/Desktop
- Then run this command "python -m SimpleHTTPServer"
- You may access the folder from a remote computer using any webrowser using the url – http://192.168.1.20:8000, change the ip address accordingly
You may find this technique offers limited options to share files, but its a real time saver!
