Today i had to copy some files to my colleague’s machine from mine through scp. This was boring task as i had to run same command for eight machine. Then i was informed about a simple python script, through which I made that directory as a temporary http server and then send a broadcast message of accessing my drive through browser. Followings are the step i had taken:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8887
N.B.8887 is assigned port number. I worked in ubuntu.
- See following screenshots what was happened:
