Ultra simple web file sharing using Python

Need to share files quickly? Python has your back.

Navigate to the folder where your file, called filename is located. Note the IP address of the computer and then run:

python -m http.server 9999

This will create an http instance at port 9999 capable of serving files located in that directory.

From a different machine, connect to it through a browser or simply use wget.

wget x.x.x.x:9999/filename

where x.x.x.x is the IP address of your HTTP server.

Note: This is an unencrypted HTTP stream. Be cognizant of the files you transfer over this stream as they will be readily visible.
