Simple file server to serve current directory [closed]

Answer 1

For Node, there's http-server:

$ npm install -g http-server
$ http-server Downloads -a localhost -p 8080
Starting up http-server, serving Downloads on port: 8080
Hit 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).
