Hi,

is there an easy way to host a TXT file on the built-in web server httpd? So everyone on LAN can access that file without authentication, like this:

http://dd-wrt/file.txt

Thanks

Here how I do that:

1. create startup script:

Code:
echo 123 > /tmp/myfile.txt


2. symlink file into /www/user
Code:

ln -s /tmp/myfile.txt /www/user/myfile.htm


3. now you can access file as http://ddwrt/user/myfile.htm

Under v24-preSP2 it is possible to serve static HTML pages using the existing web server by symlinking them into the www/user directory.
