A Simple webserver on your Mac to access your files remotely from Windows

Open a terminal window and run following commands :

 $ cd /Documents/yourSharedFiles
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

 That's it!!! Your web server is started. 

 On the browser, type following address to access your files remotely.

 http://localhost:8080

The contents of your current directory must be shown on the browser now.

Advanced issues & troubleshooting:

 8080 is the port number. If you get "socket.error: [Errno 48] Address already in use" , change the port number to another one. (less than 65536)

If you want to make your webserver run in port 80 , launch the command above with sudo and enter your root password :

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80
Password:

Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 80 ...

 in this case the url will be :

 http://localhost

 Make sure to shut the webserver down when you are done with cmd-c key or just closing the terminal window.

Read and Write Files in Java

Here is a sample code I just wrote. This class copies one file to another. By understanding this code below , you will comphrend both reading from and writing to file concepts in java. I used FileInputStream and FileOutputStream in this code. package javacream; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; public class FileUtil { public static void copyFile(String strInputFileName , String strOutputFileName) throws IOException { //Prepare file objects File fInputFile = new File(strInputFileName); File fOutputFile = new File(strOutputFileName); //Prepare read write streams from file objects FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fInputFile); FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fOutputFile); int c; // read from the input file and write to the output file while ((c = fis.read()) != -1) {
