As much as I prefer the file protocol, an other option would be: $ busybox httpd -p 8080 -f -p for port (also possible to bind to specific IP: -p 127.0.0.1:8080), -f for foreground, also optional -h for served directory (default is .). But the difference between doing almost nothing, a double click once and then it stays there even between restarts, to giving a specific command in a terminal is monstrously huge.
