Serving content with Python SimpleHTTPServer

You just need to go to the directory you want to share its content, then type 

        $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer

        Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...
The directory is now accessible on http://localhost:8000.

Port 8000 is default port used by python http server, however you can change it:

        $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 5555

        Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 5555 ...

if you get python.exe: No module named SimpleHTTPServer, you're probably trying with python3.x as python modules are renamed. You should try:
$ python -m http.server
