Serve current directory using HTTP with a single command

Answer:

Sometimes, you want to share some files in a given directory in your Linux system to other people, you might consider setup a NFS, Samba, FTP or so.

However, the easiest method is to export the directory using HTTP, with the help of Python.

E.g.

 # cd /data/
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

Now people can access the web server at port 8000 of your system's IP address, to access the /data directory.
