"Turn any folder into a local web server using a single line of Python. Let's say you have a folder on your computer and you want to access its files on another device like your phone. First, go to that folder and open command prompt in the same path. You can do this by clicking on the folder's path, then type cmd and hit enter. Before starting the server, we need our local IP address. For that, type ipconfig in the command prompt and hit enter. It will show a list of network details. Look for the line that says IPv4 address under your Wi-Fi network. This is the address other devices on the same Wi-Fi network will use to connect. Now, we will start a simple server. For that, type python-mhttp.server, then give a four-digit port number that is not already in use. I am choosing a random number. After the port number, type dash dash bind 0.0.0. This allows other devices in your network to access the server. Once the server is running, you will see a link. Just replace the Xero part with your IPv4 address. Open this link on any device connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You will now be able to see all the files in that folder. For example, if you have a video, you can tap on it and start streaming on your phone smoothly. You can also download any file at a good speed."
