HTTP Access

Sharing your files to the public is considered to be abuse according to our https://ultra.cc/policies/terms-of-service, and will be subjected to immediate termination.

In this guide, we'll be setting up HTTP access and adding a folder to your HTTP access page.

One way to manage files from your slot into your computer is through HTTP access. This provides you a quick and secure way to download files to your computer from your slot by using your web browser. Take note that HTTP Access counts towards your allocated upload bandwidth.

HTTP Access is not meant to be used when sharing files with friends and family. For such a usecase, any of the following is a better alternative: FileBrowser or Userland ProFTPD.

Initial Setup

Set up HTTP Access

Login to your User Control Panel.
Go to the Connect tab and click on Change Password beside HTTP access.
Set your Password to anything you wish. We recommend using a unique password that you do not use in any of your existing accounts and has the following:

At least 12 characters
An uppercase letter
A lowercase letter
At least 1 number
At least 1 symbol

When you are done, click Confirm Change.
A popup saying password successfully changed should appear on the lower right corner of the page, signifying that the Password is set successfully.

To login to your slot's HTTP access page, go to the URL shown under HTTP access.
Then, a basic auth prompt appears. Login using your HTTP credentials.

Add Folders to HTTP Access

Please note: Linux is case-sensitive, and you may need to confirm the upper or lower case to use when you create the symbolic link.

Connect to your service via SSH.
To add a folder to HTTP access, execute the following command.

ln -s ~/{folder-name} ~/www/{folder-name}

For example, to link the downloads folder to your HTTP access

usbdocs@hostname:~$ ls
bin  downloads  files  media  openvpn  watch  www
usbdocs@hostname:~$ ln -s ~/downloads/ ~/www/downloads
usbdocs@hostname:~$

Once that is done, visit your HTTP access page from the UCP to see the downloads folder added to the list.

Please note: Linux is case sensitive and you may need to confirm the upper or lower case to use when you create the symbolic link to your ~/www HTTP Access path. To confirm the case to use, you can do so with the following command ls ~

Remove Folder from HTTP Access

To remove a folder from your HTTP Access page, execute the following command:

unlink ~/www/{folder-name}
