HTTP fileserver
The HTTP filebrowser is now available through Tweaks!
It will allow you to manage your files through a web browser on your phone, a PC or a tablet.
- Download anything, anywhere.
- Upload anything, anywhere.
- Built in text editor.
- Built in terminal.
- Authentication (or none!)
- User creation
The feature will now appear as default in OnionOS. You'll find it in Tweaks -> Network -> HTTP fileserver
- You'll get 3 options here:
- Enable - Activate the fileserver
- Enable authentication - Activate authentication (username/password)
- Enable new user signup - Create your own account!
Once you've activated your fileserver in Tweaks (and exited tweaks!) you'll now be able to browse to the IP address of your device. If you're not sure what the IP address is, head over to settings, you'll see your IP address on the WIFI line.
Open up your favourite web browser and browse to the IP address!
You'll be met with the below, at which point you can login with the default username of admin and password of onionos
Provided you have enabled the "Enable user signup" option, you'll be able to create your own account.
When logging in, click the Create an account button and fill the required details.
The default admin account no longer uses the password admin. By default it will become onionos
The file this is stored in is kept in /mnt/SDCARD/.tmp_update/config and is called .auth.txt. There's various ways to edit this:
- Connect your SD to your PC and edit the file
- Use FTP/SFTP
- Use the built in text editor on HTTP fileserver Once
Although we've taken every precaution to offer as much security as possible, remember to keep your Onion safe. It may not be advisable to use the fileserver on Public/Open WIFI!
If filebrowser needs restarting for some reason, you'll need to disable the toggle, exit tweaks, then re-enable the toggles.
