Viewing files via a web browser from a remote workstation

If I want to view files on an HP-UX system via a web browser from a remote workstation, do I need to have Apache or some other web server running on the system in question, or is there another means available?

I guess you could also use a browser and it's ftp function. If you were to do that you can view text type files in a web browser. You would just have to set up your ftp server properly.

You could also use CIFS Server (Samba).

hi,

You should try with samba. It is easy to install.

Extra tool:

After samba you should install webmin on your box. For more details you should check this link:

This tool is more to maintenance

Make NFS between two machines and you don't
need a web server at all. Just a browser.
