How can I enable hotspot from my laptop using terminal? I don't need internet connection to do that. I want to set up a server so that I can transfer my files from my laptop to my mobile or another laptops. Is it possible using terminal? I have used python -m SimpleHTTPServer but for that I have to either connect to my mobile hotspot or any other common shared network. But I can't upload in laptop. Only download.

(Main problem is to create hotspot using terminal. I use DEEPIN 15.3 debian based)

There is a snap package (it's a new packaging technique created by Ubuntu developers) called wifi-ap. You can use it from terminal to create a wireless network, and even share internet if you want.

To install the package : snap install wifi-ap.
Then you have to configure the access point with this command wifi-ap.config.

To be able to install and manage snap packages, you have first to install snapd with the command sudo apt-get install snapd.
Then, add this line to your ~/.bashrc : export PATH=/snap/bin:$PATH, to be able to call the installed snaps from terminal.
