How to set-up an ubuntu machine as a file server? I already saw the steps to host a page using ubuntu(with apache2) but I want to be able to save my file and give the direct link of the file for downloading. Any ideas?
Or is there any other easy way to allow hosting of a file?
Thanks
If you just want to serve files for testing then
Will make the current directory available as
http://localhost:8000/whatever. Obviously this isn’t secure, but if you just want to share files over a network you control (you can replace localhost with the name of the machine) then it’s a quick way to do it.
