I'm looking for a LAN application that lets me put files in a SMB folder and provides a web interface (URL) to download these files. I only need this for LAN use, so I can pretty much ignore all security/login/encryption/https.

Does something like that exist?

I have Open Media Vault, but that doesn't seem to be one of its services. It only has FTP, SMB, DLNA.

For downloading...literally every web server. Just point it at the folder and turn directory listings on.

For uploading, too, probably something WebDAV flavored.

oh, I didn't realize that about webservers. I don't know much about them, never done web dev. So like a wordpress container would do the trick?

Filebrowser is free/open source and does exactly that

OMV extension pretty much just runs this in a container lol

So if we really want to keep this simple:

Windows w/Python installed: py -m http.server

Linux/BSD/MacOS/Unix: python3 -m http.server

And if you're dealing with Windows, you can install python many ways so it's really not that difficult anymore.

Now mind you this covers downloading from a computer meaning another client computer let's say it's a laptop from your Windows/Linux desktop or server.

To upload files however, we have to get a little bit more creative. Let's say that you have Windows as your operating system or that you know how to use WINE on Linux.

This program is a Windows executable that as one simple download file gives you a full web server with upload and download meaning it will accept the post request correctly and let you transfer files. Give it a shot.
