I'm trying to share a folder for anyone to access while running the code by making my local machine act as a server
PORT = 8000
DIRECTORY = "/content/sample_data"
class Handler(http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, directory=DIRECTORY, **kwargs)
with socketserver.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler) as httpd:
print("serving at port", PORT)
httpd.serve_forever()
Open a terminal, move to the directory that you want to give access to and run:
python -m http.server 8000
You will have a local server running on the port 8000.
If you don't have a public ip address you can use ngrok to get one:
Install ngrok, open another terminal and run
ngrok http 8000
Now anyone can access your folder by requesting the ngrok endpoint.
