The OP wants a webserver to run on an appliance and is using that to
transfer files to the box as a means to update the firmware.
Publicfile is for repositories to serve files/images. This is relevant
only to the extent that the product needs a repository to serve
images. If the OP is building a product, I doubt he would want to
provide unauthenticated access to his images.
