HTTPS share

Hi!
Is there anyone that can help me set up a single folder share over the net?

I want to help a friend host a folder on my NAS with some Android ROM files etc.

I would prefer a way to make HTTP/HTTPS download with hard links to the folder with the files in.
This part is not really my area of expertise :/

Thanks!

  • Here are some steps you need to do:
    --create a new share
    --go to Services-->Standard File Protocols-->check HTTP to enable HTTP service
    --go to Shares-->Share listing-->HTTPS-->Default Access enable HTTP service on the new share and set it to read only
    --go back to Services-->Standard File Protocols-->HTTP--> select share you created in “Redirect default web access to this share”,keep "Login authentication on this share" to disable if you want to open this HTTP share access to everyone.
    --access http://NASIPaddress
    --if you want to add authentication to the HTTP share,add a new user and set it to access list in "Shares-->Share listing-->HTTPS-->Share Access Restrictions-->Users allowed access"
