Computer Networks is an important topic and to understand the concepts, practical application of the concepts is needed. In this particular article, we will see how to make a simple file-sharing app using Python. An HTTP Web Server is software that understands URLs (web address) and HTTP (the protocol used to view webpages).<\/p>

Python has several packages which is a collection of modules. And it has several built- in servers. This app can support many types of file and their sizes And also provide<\/p>

functionalities like encryption for secure file transfer , progress tracking and error handling . This project serves as an introduction to networking and file I\/O operations in
Python .<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1 . HTTPServer<\/strong> :- It is a socket server , which creates and listens at the HTTP Socket .
2 . socketserver<\/strong> :- These modules simplify the task of writing network servers .<\/p>

3 . webbrowser<\/strong> :- This module provide us with a high-level interface to allow and display Web-based documents, simply calling the open() function.
4 . pyqrcode<\/strong> :- This module is used to generate QR Code in just two lines of code.
5 . OS<\/strong> :- This module helps for interacting with the operating system. Used for opening files, manipulate paths, and read all lines in all the files on the command line.
6 . PyPNG<\/strong> :- This module allows PNG image files to be read and written using pure Python<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Step 1 .<\/strong> First , You Download and Install Visual Studio Code or VS Code In your PC or
Laptop by VS Code Official Website .
Step 2 .<\/strong> Now Open Visual Studio Code .
Step 3<\/strong>. Now Make The file named as main.py .
Step 4<\/strong> . Now Copy And Paste The Code from the Link Given Below \u2b07\ufe0f
Step 5<\/strong> . After pasting The code , Save This & Click On Run Button .
Step 6<\/strong> . Now you will see the QR Code on the screen .
Step 7<\/strong> . Either Scan this QR Code or enter the IP Address in your mobile browser shown
in Python Shell .
Step 8<\/strong> . Now you will see all files of your PC\u2019s directory .<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u2022 HTTPServer :-<\/strong> It is a socket server , which creates and listens at the HTTP Socket.
\u2022 socketserver :-<\/strong> This module simplify the task of writing network servers .
\u2022 webbrowser :-<\/strong> This module provide us with a high-level interface to allow and display Web-based documents, simply calling the open() function.
\u2022 pyqrcode :-<\/strong> This module is used to generate QR Code in just two lines of code.<\/p>

\u2022 OS :-<\/strong> This module helps for interacting with the operating system. Used for opening files, manipulate paths, and read all lines in all the files on the command line.

\u2022 Setting the Port :<\/strong> The script starts by defining the port for the server .
\u2022 Finding the User\u2019s Desktop :<\/strong> The os module finds the user\u2019s desktop by retrieving the path to the user\u2019s OneDrive Folder and changes the current working directory to
this location .
\u2022 Setting up the server :<\/strong> A Handler is Created using SimpleHTTPRequestHandler , which serves the file by HTTP Server . This code is also determines the machine\u2019s IP Address using socket module .
\u2022 Generating the QR Code :<\/strong> This code is also generates the QR Code , which is linked to the HTTP Server of machine . It includes the machine\u2019s IP Address and port . This QR
Code is saves as SVG file named as \u2018myqr.svg\u2019 and opened in default web browser .
\u2022 Starting the Server :<\/strong> After generating the QR Code , this python script initializes the HTTP Server using socketserver .
Overall , this script simplifies the process of sharing the files of your laptop\u2019s or PC\u2019s OneDrive
folder over a HTTP Server .<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
