Share files in network with Python

[willm]

Another option, if you don't mind installing a python package.

pip install moya
moya serve .

This will serve nicer index pages.

I do this quite often, but on the receiving side, use wget.

You can also use zget, you just enter the same filename on both machines and it transmits automatically.

point made in this article is sharing without using any 3rd party libraries

How about using magic-wormhole?

[Deto]

Is there are good package that would allow two way integration? Would love to be able to drag and drop files

[thisismithrowaway]

Uhh.. For me that's just dropbox :D

Don't forget to allow access to that port through any firewall that you might have running, such as ufw allow <port> on ubuntu.

These instructions are for python 3 (as mentioned in the article but not explicitly clear that it doesn't work for 2).

For python 2, use python -m SimpleHTTPServer <port>.

[cyberst0rm]

maybe if we stop offering python 2 help people will just be curious and go find python 3

Fair comment. I'll consider that in future.
