Online repository file server
-
I have successfully created an offline installer package (winnowinstaller.exe). I copied it as a binary to the GitHub release area and it works fine. I then created an online version, which works fine from my windows computer, using the url "file:///D:/My Projects/Winnow Project/WinnowInstallOnline/repository" in the config.xml file.
My issue is how to get this to work from some web server. I can't use the GitHub release area as it only accepts binaries - not the repository folder structure generated by repogen.exe. I tried google drive and dropbox but I just get an error "Failure to fetch repositories" in the installer setup.
Can anyone suggest a file server service (correct terminology?) suitable for a freeware product? Is there any documentation/information available for a novice getting started using web servers?
Thanks in advance.
