A:
Your URL is incorrect. The port number should be specified after the domain name:
Some other things you should keep in mind:
- If this is a shared host, port 8000 might already be in use by someone else
- The host might not be accessible from 'outside' of the network, due to firewall restrictions on non-standard ports
- The system you see internally could map to a different system outside, so the domain/hostname could be different from what you expect.

Are you sure? Many other users have a subdomain under the domain. If the domain is relly your suggestion, my admin has probably blocked such commands. Is there some way to test the command otherwise?

Yes, the format of the URL you specified, http://cs.edu.com/user/share_dir, is a way to get the web server serving files from your home directory. The Python method you want to use bypasses the normal web server and creates a brand new one listening directly on the host where you run it.

Is it possible to create a socket to the place where I wanted it: http://cs.edu.com/user/share_dir:8000

No, unfortunately not. The /user part is handled by your host's default web server and you are starting a new one on port 8000.
