What open source or free web servers are available to assist with system administration?

There's an article over in KB: https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Miscellaneous/What_open_source_or_free_web_servers_are_available_to_assist_with_system_administration

 

What I've found useful, especially in air-gapped environments, is to use Python to run a quick-and-dirty web server, from a RHEL6 or RHEL7 host.

Python 2.x: python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Python 3.x: python -m http.server

 

To test:

curl http://localhost:8000/

 

This way, you get your software or patches uploaded to a NetApp or a FC switch and you don't have to bring in software from external sources and deal with the associated approval paperwork.
