Centos - How do I let people download a file off my server.

Posted January 11, 2014

Will I have to make a website?

I just want to display one directory from my server and people can download the stuff inside it.

I tried ftp through web, but when I try to download something, Chrome says “This webpage is not available”, I can connect and download things fine when I use Filezilla.

You just need to install a webserver. Nginx is a good choice: <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-the-latest-version-of-nginx-on-ubuntu-12-10”>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-the-latest-version-of-nginx-on-ubuntu-12-10</a>
