Two relevant threads:
[B4X] Network + AsyncStreams + B4XSerializator
[B4X] FTP Server implemented with Socket and AsyncStreams

Make sure to open the relevant ports in Windows firewall.

How can I do it without the Python Part?

How can I do it without the Python Part?

You mean PHP?
You can build a B4J Web Server. There is a File Upload example using WebSocket.

Use this library , download it, put the .jar and .xml file in additional libraries file

B4X code:

 Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
    Dim Up As UploadFilePhp
End Sub
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    If FirstTime Then
        Up.Initialize("Up")
    End If
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_click
   phpUrl="http://localhost/your_folder/upload_file.php"
   Dim phoneDocPath As String = File.DirInternal & "/"  'OR  "/sdcard/
   Dim docName As String="xxxxxx.xxx"
   Up.doFileUpload( Null,Null,phoneDocPath & docName, phpUrl)
End Sub

Use Wampserver or XAMP and make a folder under www or htdocs directory put the following php file (name it upload_file.php) in that folder
and inside that folder make the 'uploads' folder where you upload your file..
PHP code:

<?php

    $file_path = "uploads/";
    $file_path = $file_path . basename( $_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
    if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'], $file_path)) {
        echo "success";
    } else{
        echo "fail";
    }

?>

At last, run your b4a app and I hope your document will be uploaded to the localhost server.
