# 

# 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,
