I understand anyone can use a iPad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9NP-AeKX40 I end up throwing Apache on a lot of computers... it is just so easy run and use and so many apps use it by default.

Subject: Re: [dba-VB] serving up a directory as a web page... Personally,I prefer Apache as a webserver. I find it simpler to configure. Is this web interface for WWW or intranet use? If you are just working on an intranet and aren't too worried about security, all you have to do is make the folder tree the "document root" of a "virtual host" and he can browse the folders without any further work - no need tor .net, php or anything. If it is WWW, I'd probably set up an FTP server such as filezilla for him to access the folders through an easy to use FTP client. -- Stuart On 14 Apr 2010 at 7:44, Francisco Tapia wrote: > so with all these news on iPad, our team ended up getting one, but to make > it really useful, we are being asked on how can we make it search our > network drives so that content is served up on it easily, currently our > manager who has been testing it sends the files he wants to it via email and > then just opens them this way during his meeting, however if he forgets one, > he sends us an email so that we can send it his way.
