The question mark terminating this statement seems dubious. This appears to be a feature of Cisco routers. http://stack.nil.com/C1256F0A00429755/html/webupload/ > copy running-config http://10.10.10.<laptop web server IP> > > It should work and it's simple.

It has a USE=minimal flag you might also try, for fewer calories. As a matter of practice I would not leave any webserver running on my laptop, or even installed, for longer than necessary. I would prefer to have a home or office webserver to which I could transfer these files and from which the router can obtain them. Rationally, I have no idea why I imagine one site to be more secure than the other. Consider this installation-free alternative: http://www.google.co.uk/searchq=one+line+python+web+server Stroller.
