I'm running OS 6.4.1 (on my legacy RN Ultra 4, but that's probably not relevant).
I've configured a share as (default) public_html web directory, as documented here
In the Admin interface at [system, settings, services, http] there is a checkbox next to "Enable HTTP Admin". What does is do exactly?
The checkbox isn't described in the help pages https://<my_ip>/admin/help/system_tab_settings_17.html
I'm looking for an http admin section to disable file browsing for example.
Solved! Go to Solution.

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.
Hope this helps!

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