Lightbulb Transfer books via WiFi on a Mac

Hi all,

I'm new here. I have a T1 and I really love it

Just wanted to share a trick that I'm using to occasionally transfer books to my T1 over WiFi. You might find it useful. This is for Mac OS X.

Apologies if this was already covered by someone else.

On your Mac find the folder with the books you want to transfer and double click on the folder to open it.

Launch Terminal

To change to the directory where the books are, type:

cd (and drag the folder name on top of the finder's open window to terminal; click and hold the folder icon not the name to drag). This will save you from typing the path.

Hit enter to change the directory.

Now type:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

The above is case sensitive (type it as it is)

It should come back and say:
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

The above will serve that particular folder for you as a web page on port 8000

On your T1, use the browser to access your Mac using the IP address and the port. Example:

http://10.1.1.20:8000

Click on a book in the list and it should be dloaded to your T1.

once done, hit control-c (in terminal) to stop the server.
