I have NGINX installed on a VPN and I would like to access the "downloads"
folder via https. I followed instructions given to me as follows:
In order to download your files from your vpn, you will move the download
folder of deluge into nginx www folder. For example: downloads folder
(/usr/share/nginx/www/downloads). Your files will be accessible at
http://ip-address/downloads.
Change the configuration file is at /etc/nginx/sites-available/default to allow
the downloads folder to be accessable via https.
Edit that file and you will see a line like root /path/to/root/folder/here <--
change this to your download location.
In that file I replaced
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
with
root /usr/share/nginx/www/downloads
You also need to enable autoindex. By default, nginx will not list the files
inside a folder (security reason).
Add these lines to the default file:
autoindex on;
autoindex_exact_size off;
autoindex_localtime on;
Which I did.
So far I cannot access the downloads folder and thought I would look for some
help here.
Thanks very much
Henry
