Set up a basic HTTP server (for downloading files from your phone) #1
Hi everyone,

So I found this pretty usefull, since it doesn't require a lot of apps and downloading is easy. It's very basic though and you can also use apps for this.

Step 1: Download Termux from Google Play
Termux is a terminal app for Android. It doesn't require root and is a pretty good terminal application.

Step 2: First we'll install python because we will be using the built-in HTTPserver from python. Type in the following code:
Code:
apt install python
Step 3: Get your IP by typing in the following command (you will be using the IP as a URL):
Code:
ifconfig
Step 4: Type in the following code for starting the HTTP server:
Code:
python -m http.server 8080
You can change the port to whatever you want.

Step 5: In a browser of choice, type in the IP with ":" and the port number behind that.
For example: 152.26.63.53:8080

That's it, now you can download files from your phone through your webbrowser. Not a very detailed, difficult tutorial but usefull for some people.

Nice there is another tool that is a paid app on the play store that has so much more potential Its called servers ultimate pro its about 15$ and all the add-ons are free only thing about this tool is to get the full advantage of it you must be rooted but it will work on non rooted devices but not to its full potential. First download the app which i have provided https://mega.nz/#!GtxWwCaD!xk3FMi0UI_zNn...l8q8ufvX84 and open it up your screen will look like this

now click on simple servers and select from the drop down menu. For this tutorial we will choose an FTP server your screen should look like this.

@Byrdonawire that's indeed very possbile as well and looks way better than setting up an HTTP server through the terminal.

Some people can't pay 15$ though or can't root their devices (for example mine can not be rooted, yet)

Yeah me too, what happened to the 1 click root though? Like a few months back there were some phones where you could just choose whether you wanted to root it or not. I thought that was coming to all phones. Apperently they changed their minds.

Newer phones have root blocker.

That's exactly why I am so confused. I thought they would make it easier to root your phone instead of more difficult.

The app is in the download for free and will work for nonroot just not as many options why are people finding it so hard to root thier phones nowadays never had a problem? Maybe because they want the newest os the first day it comes out[emoji12]
