You have some files (photos, music, whatever) and you want to give them to a friend who is sipping a Hinano on the other side of the table, room, anchorage but is connected to the same router as you. Find out what your address is with ifconfig |grep inet\ having a space after the slash. Code: [email protected]:~$ ifconfig | grep inet\ I'm currently connected at 192.168.0.57...127.0.0.1 is a local address.inet addr:192.168.0.57 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 Change to the directory the file(s) is/are located; e.g., Code: cd Downloads/Tonga then enterCode: python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080 Yell over to you computer pal "Oi!, I'm at 192.168.0.57:8080"He, she, it types that information into the browser URL bar/box...hits <Enter> and miliseconds later can see and access all the files within the Downloads/Tonga directory and sub-directories, but no files/directories 'upstream', like Downloads, or Downloads/privé, etc.. The files can either be downloaded individually or collectively with DownThemAll that is included in every Navigatrix system. When you're done, close the terminal, or hit <ctrl><c> and the connection is severed. With the speed of a good ethernet connection it will be faster than copying the files to a USB, handing it over to be copied off the USB and trying to your stick back. |
