#47 download files via http?

This is more a request than a problem.

It would be very nice if it would be possible to navigate the external hd connected to the NAS via http web pages, see the files in the folder and download files. Uploading via http would even be better.

This because ftp is not always possible. This is often blocked at companies and as such files cannot be accessed.

Thanks

keep in mind that you can access files via http at service webserver with port 8080 (by default):
192.168.x.x:8080/sda1/file_path

No, that does not work. 192.168.x.x:8080/ is the root of the webserver, not of the linux device. So you cannot just access /sda1 from there. Maybe if you make a symbolic link from your webserver path to /sda1 this could work but then you still cannot navigate trough your folders. Only access individual files and uploading files is surely not possible like that.

Yes, sure you can, just need to enable index view on .htaccess file:
Options +indexes
And sure you can upload via http as well, but with your own script like something such as upload.cgi at your /usb/ folder will enable you to do that.
