Hello, and i’m sorry to ask this simple and obvious question, but I don’t know how to proceed.
I developed a simple application that parse stuff on different websites and generate a json file. Now, this file is now on the my droplet. How can i open that file using a normal http connection? ( i mean, how can i view that file on my broswer for example? )
