Seo Master present to you:

All of us will ever be at home with a friend or a family member and want to exchange a few files quickly. This “How To” you will be able to “host” your files temporarily and your folders on your GNU / Linux using Python, and you can access via browser from any device connected to the LAN and WLAN.

WHAT IS PYTHON?

Python is a high-level programming language interpreted, object-oriented and extensible. It is a multi-paradigm language variables are not typed, which allows Python to be versatile, fast and efficient. Precisely because of these characteristics, it proves useful to scripting.

DISTRO GNU / LINUX AND PYTHON

Our goal is to have access to a Linux device file via browser from any machine connected via LAN cable (LAN) or wireless (WLAN).
But how?
What we need is a small server to boot from the terminal. The SimpleHTTPServer, this is the script name in the directory we will use

/ Usr / lib / pythonx.y /

is available in all systems that have installed Python version 2.5 or higher.
Given some element of theory, let’s practice!

LET’S PRACTICE!

We want to share the folder “mia_cartella” contained in one of the system.
We initiate the terminal.
Let’s move the folder to be exchanged: Use the command “cd” (change directory).

cd Desktop / mia_cartella

Finally we start the script. The syntax is:

sudo python-m SimpleHTTPServer 80

where 80 is the port on which to listen.
For more ports of 1024 can omit “sudo”.
This is what will appear: The server starts at localhost on port choice.
To end the session just press Ctrl + C

Now just find the IP address of the pc to share the folder with one of the many methods, I suggest sites like http://www.ip-adress.com/ .
Point your Web browser connected to the device (W) LAN from which you access

http://ipaddress:port/

proceeds with the IP address instead of “ipaddress” and the port you chose for the connection instead of “port”. The browser will display a tree structure, such as image, with the contents of the folder from which you started the script.
