Use Your Android Phone As A Web Server


If you happen to have an old Android phone sitting around collecting dust, XDA TV shows off one potentially cool use for it: a completely portable web server you can store and serve up data from anywhere.

The web server uses a standard Linux package and a few different Android apps: BotBrew Basil, VNC Server and QuickSSHD. The installation process is pretty simple, and once your sever is running, you have a fully portable web server that you can dish use to dish out content privately or publicly. It probably can’t handle too much traffic, but we’re interested in hearing some of the uses you come up with in the comments.
