Setting up FTP for Fast Download on Ubuntu 16.04

Post by Ticketry »

If one elected to use a VDS for fast downloading, how could they accomplish setting up their own FTP server where it is akin to NFO's and accessible using http://domain.com format on Ubuntu 16.04? I know there is a lot of ways to accomplish this but I am open to most answers (aside from "ur stuped jus use nfos!"). Also I have already accomplished setting up domain and Apache Webserver, I just need to be able to make it show an "Index of/" instead of my stupid test page. Thanks in advance for all assistance rendered!


Best wishes,

I believe the default directory for Apache2 is /var/www/ so you'd just need to go there and either delete the contents of that folder, then place your game content there, or create a new folder in that directory (Named 'server', or anything else you'd like), then put the content in that folder. If you create the /server directory, then you'd access it via http://my.ipa.ddr.ess/server (Replacing my.ipa.ddr.ess with your actual IP address) and can use that same address in your server.cfg file for fastDL.

Ah I see, I actually overlooked the fact what I am using was favoring my "stupid test page" over everything else and a few other little adjustments in it's configuration. Much appreciation for your response / assistance! :D
