I also use this! like I wanted a backup of my device once to my phones when my system was messed up.

and I used this. Though I would prefer a way to keep it downloading from where it left because this method ISNT reliable for 40 gigs transfer

I am also wondering about this comment in the gist which was linked (gist.github.com/willurd/5720255) by olejorgenb which is

Limiting request to a certain interface (eg.: do not allow request from the network)

python -m http.server --bind 127.0.0.1

Like what does that really do? Maybe its also nice, IDK?



127.0.0.1 means "self" in IP. Presumably that means that it if you browse to your IP address from your computer it will work, but from your phone it will not.

I usually do the opposite - 0.0.0.0 - which allows connections from any device.
