HTTP/FTP file server for Visicut #15

Open dylarm opened 6 years ago

dylarm commented 6 years ago

This may be outside of the scope of this particular project, but there should also be an HTTP or FTP file server that Visicut can send its files to, so that a user can use their laptop to generate the gcode and not have to fiddle with SCP or NFS.

This looks like it may be more easily accomplished using Nextcloud, perhaps with a server running on the Pi (depending on resources). Then, using Visicut on one of the workstations in the space, the generated gcode file will be automatically synced.

If it's supported by Nextcloud, it would also be nice to have the share broadcasted (somehow) on the local network.

But this would also allow people to use their own personal computers and, as long as they had the Pi's Nextcloud shared with them, they could generate the gcode anywhere, even outside the space, and it'll be ready for them when they arrive.
