Simple file server to serve current directory [closed]
python3 -m http.server
or if you don't want to use the default port 8000
python3 -m http.server 3333
or if you want to allow connections from localhost only
python3 -m http.server --bind 127.0.0.1
See the docs.
The equivalent Python 2 commands are
python -m SimpleHTTPServerpython -m SimpleHTTPServer 3333
There is no --bind
option.
See the Python 2 docs.
For Node, there's http-server
:
$ npm install -g http-server$ http-server Downloads -a localhost -p 8080Starting up http-server, serving Downloads on port: 8080Hit CTRL-C to stop the server
Python has:
- Python 3:
python -m http.server --bind 127.0.0.1 8080
- Python 2:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
Note that Python 2 has no --bind
option, so it will allow all connections (not just from localhost
).
There is the Perl app App::HTTPThis or I have often used a tiny Mojolicious server to do this. See my blog post from a while back.
Make a file called say server.pl
. Put this in it.
#!/usr/bin/env perluse Mojolicious::Lite;use Cwd;app->static->paths->[0] = getcwd;any '/' => sub { shift->render_static('index.html');};app->start;
Install Mojolicious: curl get.mojolicio.us | sh
and then run morbo server.pl
.
Should work, and you can tweak the script if you need to.
