You can use Connect and ServeStatic with Node.js for this:

1. Install connect and serve-static with NPM:
   

   npm install connect serve-static
   

2. Create server.js file with this content:
   

   var connect = require('connect');
   var serveStatic = require('serve-static');
   connect().use(serveStatic(__dirname)).listen(8080, function(){
    console.log('Server running on 8080...');
   });
   

3. Run with Node.js:

   node server.js
