Linux share directory with python 2018-12-29 07:30

Sometimes we need copy file from server to local. There are several ways to do that. We can use scp, sz commands to transfer files. scp command need us to input local IP, username and password. sz command need us to install lrzsz. Today I found another way to do this.

Use python -m SimpleHTTPServer <port>. python command is installed for most Linux OS. After executing this command. current directory will shared by this port. You can access these files by browser. Just input remote server IP:port in the address bar.

For python3, use this command python3 -m http.server <port>
