There were instances that I shared files from my mobile phone, using Raccoon mobile application and serves as my mobile web server. Sometimes, I just SMS the link and for some reason the recipient send the link to other people. What if I don’t want the files to be shared to unknown persons? Who would be happy if you are getting abused in a way, this is the reason why mobile web server should be password protected if needed.
The steps:
- Edit httpd.conf, look for the following line
# Uncomment the following line if you don’t want to let anybody unknown
# see your home-page.
# Require valid-userRemove # before the word Require
- Send as mms > cancel. Go to fexplorer, open inbox, copy & paste the file E:apache/conf. Rename it as httpd.conf
- Edit the file “users”, also located at E:apache/conf. At the bottom of the file, you will see
#hello:world
–Remove #
- You can also change the username:password
- You can add as many username:pw as you want. Now, there will be no more uninvited guest on your mobile web server.
