Goal
To have a simple way of sharing files accross the network from the command-line.
This method only require nc to have the sockets up and running, and common unix tools (ifconfig,stat,grep,cut,file).
Add the following function in your bash dotfile (bashrc, bash_profile, whatever you use) and enjoy file sharing using share filename.
- Note that this function simulate the behaviour of a real HTTP server, sending the correct headers.
- It has been developed for both Mac OSX and Linux. Maybe *BSD ?
# written in bash function share() { ! have nc && die "This machine doesn't have 'nc'" && return [[ $# -ne 1 ]] && die "Usage: share <filename>" && return [[ ! -f $1 ]] && die "No such file : $1" && return port=$((8000 + RANDOM%1000)) if [[ $OSTYPE == darwin[0-9]* ]] ; then ip=$(/sbin/ifconfig | egrep inet[^6] | fgrep -v 127.0.0.1 | cut -d" " -f2) for i in $ip ; do echo "http://$i:$port/$1" ; done cat - "$1" <<- EOF | $(type -p nc) -l -w 30 $port HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r Content-Length: $(stat -f %z "$1") Content-Type: $(file -b --mime-type "$1") EOF elif [[ $OSTYPE == "linux-gnu" ]] ; then ip=$(/sbin/ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | egrep -v 127.0.0.1 | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d" " -f1) for i in $ip ; do echo "http://$i:$port/$1" ; done cat - "$1" <<- EOF | $(type -p nc) -l -p $port -q 0 HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r Content-Length: $(stat -c %s "$1") Content-Type: $(file -b --mime-type "$1") EOF fi }
