I have just started to use SimpleHTTPServers, and I was wondering how I can modify the source files from another device that is on the network. I want to keep it as simple as possible (right now I am just CDing a file and then type the python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 to the command line). Please tell me if you know of a way to modify these files from another device on the network. Thanks.

  • probably I don't understand your problem but I use ssh to login on another device on the local network and I have access to all files on this device. Commented Apr 7, 2019 at 20:30
  • Sorry if I did not make it clear, I have a simple http localhost server that I run by writing "python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000" in the command line. I was wondering how I could edit (edit meaning change the files on the source device) the files that I put on this server from another device that is on the network. Commented Apr 7, 2019 at 21:45
  • if you want to change files using web server then you have to write page which let you download file and later upload it back. Or you have to create page which will display form with text from file and there will be button which will send this text (after editing) back to server which will save it in file. All this need more code in Python - and maybe it will be easier to write it with module/framework Flask or Django Commented Apr 7, 2019 at 21:56
  • With SimpleHTTPServers you can only download from server but you can't upload. With python -m CGIHTTPServer 8000 (CGIHTTPServer) you can run server which let you run some scripts on server. You could write script which could upload file and save on server. Commented Apr 7, 2019 at 22:05
