Hi, i have set up a LAN working network and i have also setup a hotspot.
I just want to upload some images on file in Mikrotik not even in hotspot.
e.x. folder= img
img1.png
img2.png
Then i need a path ( local ip/img/ img1 )in order to use it in some html to show the img to the client who will be in a local pc.
WAN: 192.168.1.80
LAN: 192.168.3.0/24
GATEWAY: 192.168.3.1
LOCAL PC: 192.168.3.50
I open a browser from that pc hit 192.168.1.80/img/img1.png and cant view the img.
So basically you want to be able to use a server on the lan to show images >
When you say clients do you mean people on the internet (external WANIPs)?
RouterOS can’t be used as webserver for your own files. It would be simple to add for MikroTik, because there obviously is webserver already, but you’d have to convince them first that it’s good idea. Until then, your only chance is to try to find some way how to misuse hotspot, but I don’t know if it’s possible.
First of all thanks for your reply!
Imagine there is a monitor where users press the word “zebra” and the image of a zebra appears in the monitor.
This monitor will be in the specific LAN created by a RB951 (or 941).
The images will be shown locally not through public IP’s.
(there is reason for not having the images in the monitor)
I know that if i use the hotspot and run the html through the login page i can have almost what i want but that way i have to write a lot of HTML lines…
I was curious about it cause if for example you type (gateway ip):hotspot/img/password.svg you can see the password image in your browser.
The default hotspot password image. And the user.svg image as well..
And if you type /file print in the Terminal you can see the Hotspot file and its contents but not a file i have created and uploaded the images.
e.x.
Image (file)
zebra. png
If i upload an image in the hotspot file.
hotspot/img/zebra.png and type local gateway ip
192.168.x.x/hotspot/img/zebra.png i get Error 404:Not found BUT
192.168.x.x/hotspot/img/password.svg i can see the password logo.
And it’s not a file extension issue!
Wow i was thinking it woulb be fairly easy and doable…
Isn’t there a workaround Sob?
Could be some firewall trick?
Why let me view the password/user.svg files ?
I can confirm what you see, existing files in hotspot directory are accessible, but when I upload some new one, then nothing, just 404. But hotspot pages are customizable, you can download different templates and they do include images. It must be something simple, but I don’t know what, I never really used hotspot.
I think ill try Metarouter! Haven’t done it before hope not to brick anything! Thanks again!
