Note:
This setup should be used as a choice second to FTP server. Visit the Windows or Linux FTP server guide.
Setup instructions:
- Create a directory in web root and call it pub. Note that this is based on the assumption that you have installed phpBB as the main site. Adjust this path accordingly if you have done otherwise.
- Upload files which you will let anyone download to pub. Example: myhexedro.exe
- Log in to your phpBB site (http://myhost.mydomain.tld)
- start a new topic, call it any name you wish
- click URL button, key in http://myhost.mydomain.tld/pub/myhexedro.exe, then click URL button again
- repeat with other files
- preview
- submit
- Test whether download links are working
Caution:
Since the directory is accessible as http://myhost.mydomain.tld/pub, you should only host files for anonymous users there.
