"Sharing only works for single files, and people you share with will need
a PythonAnywhere account."

So, unless I can find a way to make them public, it looks like a no go.

I thought you could use your own URL to "serve" the files?

http://wasbit.pythonanywhere.com

= "Coming Soon!
This is going to be another great website hosted by PythonAnywhere. "

So, in the future possibly.

I think that message means you need to do something ... I'll have a play.

I created an account, enabled a web app from the dashboard (I used
django with python 3.7 might be simpler ways)

then upload files to the folder
/home/MYUSERNAME/MYSITE/static

and they are accessible as e.g.
http://MYUSERNAME.pythonanywhere.com/static/MYFILE.txt

You could probably knock up a minimal python script that generated an
index linking to the files ...

Same objections, yes. But thanks for your efforts.
In Pale Moon I see all white, like Andy. In Firefox
I see a mess with some links, like Shadow sees. But
the links don't work. They go to a page that says
"hotlinking not allowed!".
Maybe that's because I block referrers? Could be.

Yes, it no longer works when I turn referrers off.

I turned referrers on and forgot to turn them off (blushes
over that security blunder). I think I needed them for something on
M****Hub.
Did my link work ? It's exactly the same content, re-zipped to
show Wasbit there's something weird with his archiver. I have no
intention of "hijacking" his work.
Works for me. No referrers, no javascript.

https://nofile.io/f/XpM5SBwpFvx/Freeware.zip

Yep works fine.
You could have made the file smaller if you had excluded the zip file &
compacted only the text files.

Yes, but as promised, I included everything that was in your
original file. Including the older files in the zip inside the zip.

PS Did you ever figure out why your .zip was much larger ?

Thanks

Sorry Andy, if there's no GUI then I'm lost.
Following your instructions, does this work
-
https://www.pythonanywhere.com/user/...Freeware_lists

Probably jumping the gun but I also have to make sure that no-one else can
alter or add files.

Nope. First time I've ever had the need to compact files so used WinRAR &
followed my nose.

They do say how to host a static site

https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/hosting-a-static-site

I tried that, and placed an index.html file under the static folder and
it works nicely

http://andyburns.pythonanywhere.com

Probably jumping the gun but I also have to make sure that no-one else

Only you (with your username/password) should be able to edit anything

No, but only *you can get to the /user/wasbit/files/home path, you
should be aiming for people to use

http://wasbit.pythonanywhere.com/

In the "web" section of dashboard, you should see the first two entries
and need to add the third one

/static/ /home/wasbit/mysite/static
/media/ /home/wasbit/mysite/media
/ /home/wasbit/mysite/static

depends if you left the name as "mysite" or renamed it

Then your files need to go in

https://www.pythonanywhere.com/user/.../mysite/static

again depending on whether or not you renamed "mysite"

create an index.html in there that links to your other text files in there

I'm obviously doing something wrong.

So your index.html file and your various freeware.txt files should be within

https://www.pythonanywhere.com/user/wasbit/files/home/wasbit/Freeware_lists/static

right?

I do now see a blank (error) page at

http://wasbit.pythonanywhere.com

so you're doing something (nearly) right!

Did you add the path for the "/" URL?

when logged in, go to the Web section of the dashboard

scroll down to the section named "Static files"

where it says "Enter URL"
type /
and click the tick

where it says "Enter path"
type /home/wasbit/Freeware_lists/static
and click the tick

then scroll back to the top and click the green reload button.

Created an index file but don't know how to populate it

Within the "Files" browser just click on it, it will take you to a text
editor

Deleted Freeware_lists & restarted with mysite

http://wasbit.pythonanywhere.com
takes me to a django page that says,

"The install worked successfully! Congratulations!

You are seeing this page because DEBUG=True is in your settings file and you
have not configured any URLs."

So in Mysite/settings.py I changed DEBUG to False saved the file, reloaded
wasbit.pythonanywhere.com & then get a Not Found page

If you don't get it working from there, can I suggest to wipe and
simplify the folder structure ...

Go into "files" and delete every single file and every single folder

Go into "web" and at the bottom click the red "delete web app" button

then click "add new web app", next, manual config, python 3.7, next

Add back the static files path like before, but simply with

/ = /home/wasbit

then click the green reload

Then go back to files, and create your index.html file directly in
/home/wasbit and upload your freeware text files there too.

sorted ...
