File and Web server

Hello, is there anyway or software to start an easy file server to share files across local network and also the files that are .exe being executed when click under Windows?

Such as Mint's Warpinator?

Also good for Linux-to-Android file sharing. Available as Flathub Warpinator for other Linux distros. Plus a Windows Warpinator port (64-bit & 32-bit).

Hi, not like that. More like setting a computer to hold files and browse in network by http.

Strictly HTTP?
1, Install apache and once installed open the server IP address in the other computers web browser's

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo chown username:username /var/www/html (replace username with your actual username on that computer)
sudo rm /var/www/html/index.html

Allow port 80 on the firewall if needed
Copy whatever files you want to be seen on the server in the /var/www/html directory. You will get a plain text list with links to each file when browsing from the clients.

This is a bad idea if you want to "share" files but doable.

2. You can also Setup SSH instead on the server, and login from the other computers mounting any directory you want. My tutorial here viewtopic.php?f=42&t=367360

3. Or find altair4 guides on SAMBA, search the forum.

Thank you, I will take a look at those options.
