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. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
