How to access a www/ directory on my droplet?

Posted on June 27, 2017

Hello, I have a simple droplet with the latest Ubuntu version, I would like to share with the outter world some documents with a link like http://XX.XX.XX.XX/www/myFiles Where the XXX… is the IP of my droplet How may I do that? It looks like the tuto of Digital Ocean is not up to date. Thanks in advance, regards, Xavier

Hi @prudentxavier

Are you using Windows, OS X or Linux on your computer? Did you setup the droplet yourself or did you use a one-click app? Did you setup the droplet with password or SSH key?

Hello Hansen, I am using mac os 10.9.5, even though I don’t think that information is relevant as I log to my droplet using ssh. The setup? Well, I just paid for a server and started to log in. Regards, Xavier
