Transforms 4.1-Mona into a CD development system. Similar to UniServer_USB uses Portable Firefox plus a PAC file to resolves local web-addresses..

|-valign="top" style="background:#f5f5f5;"

|

[[FileZilla Server2: Introduction|'''UniServer_FileZillFTPd''']]

|

Adds FileZilla Server to 4.1-Mona Supports all three-installation modes. Core portable-FileFillaFTPd can be used independently of UniServer.

|-valign="top" style="background:#f5f5f5;"

|

[[UniServer_USB:_Introduction|'''UniServer_USB''']]

|

Makes Uniform Server 4.1-Mona totally independent of host PC. Adds portable Firefox. Host browser not required. Uses PAC file to resolve Web addresses “hosts” file not required. (Example of use see tutorial [[USB MediaWiki | '''USB MediaWiki''']] for complete step-by-step guide)

The following topics and tutorials show how to harness the power of SSL built into Uniform Server.

=== Password protect folders/files plus ssl ===

[[Authentication: Introduction|'''Authentication''']] covers Apache’s basic authentication, viable over the Internet when secured using SSL. The techniques shown eliminate the need for additional programming and remove the requirement to have mod-rewrite enabled. A full-blown secure server is not required! Double logins are eliminated.
