Subject: ruby-a-day: admin tip: sharing files/folder

Hi,

many times, we share files across different platforms (unix,

windows, mac) and accross the net. no probs; w just ruby, you

can publish your folder in a few seconds. try it like this,

1 go to the folder you want to publish

2 run the ff ruby script:

#-----start----

require ‘webrick’

port=rand(2000)+60000;

server=WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(

:Port => port,

:DocumentRoot => Dir::pwd,

:BindAddress => ‘0.0.0.0’,

:Logger => WEBrick::Log.new(nil,nil)

)

trap “INT” do server.shutdown end

server.start

#-----end----

this will publish your current folders/file(Dir::pwd) at a

random port (60000-62000). Press ctrl-c to stop your mini web server.

To access your file/folder, just use any browser or wget…

happy rubying,
