    Hi miels,

     

    The Enable HTTP admin feature is an option to access the device admin page via HTTP. If the it is disabled, the admin page default access goes back to HTTPS. With regard to HTTP file browsing, you can disable it under Network Access tab of the said share or folder.

    Kind regards,

The most secure configuration is to leave this setting disabled (requiring https to use the admin web ui).
