HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Password protection based on share request source

« on: September 13, 2008, 08:42:42 AM »

First things first, thank you all for your help: I managed to find what was the problem with the login process on my PS3! I think this should be added to the faq as it isn't as obvious as it could seem O_o well... the problem was THE TEMPLATE! I still have test a little more, but it seems that with the default template I can login correctly, whilst when using Terayon I can't! So a good way to fix login problems is to switch to default template and see if, at least this way, you're able to login correctly! ^_^

You're right about the fact the PS3 browser is limited, but it handles well enough anything wich doesen't make an heavy use of javascript or ajax it can handle hfs pretty well and in fact a lot of people use hfs to transfer files from pc to the ps3 because browser downloads can go on in background while playing games, whilst copying from a cd/usb drive or from an upnp share can't be done in background Without a password set, hfs works perfectly: it's only when there's a password that I have problems... however it seems that other people on the net are able to use hfs with password protection on their PS3 without problems, so I'm the one doing something wrong O_o

Thanks  I'll try these scripts as soon as I get home (now I'm at work ) About the safety of the whole thing, I agree with you that I should go for the last solution to avoid any risk in case my traffic is eavesdropped. Another idea I had a few minutes ago was using a VPN connection to my home network when at work, but I guess is a bit overkill...

Speaking of my PS3 problems...I just can't understand what's wrong: when theres no password set, I can access my HFS shares without problems, but when there's a password set I can't go after the "login" dialog. The PS3 correctly recognize that I need to enter a login and a password, I enter them and then the HFS page stays forever in "loading" state... O_o

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Password protection based on share request source

Hello everyone
I still can't understand if it's possible or not, but I'm trying to configure HFS as follows: I use HFS to access my files from my Sony PS3 (wich is part of my home network) and from my computer at work (wich isn't). Normally I'd simply password protect the shares and live happily, but my Playstation3 seems to have problems with the authentication procedure of HFS, so I can't login even if I enter the right username / password. Thus, I'd like to configure HFS as follows:

- Free access to the shares when the request comes from my home network
- Password protection when requests comes from outside

My home network is connected to internet by an ADSL router
Can someone help me? alternatively, some help diagnosing why my PS3 isn't able to login would do
