| 4 | Filebrowser is a file manager that allows you to easily download and upload files to your server through a web interface. |
||

| 6 | <pre> |
||
| 7 | apt install curl |
||
| 8 | curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebrowser/get/master/get.sh -o get.sh && chmod +x get.sh && ./get.sh |
||
| 9 | </pre> |
||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Start FileBrowser using the following command, replacing the IP address with the IP address you want to use: |
||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | <pre> |
||
| 14 | filebrowser -a <IP address> |
||
| 15 | </pre> |
||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | Use a web browser to navigate to the IP address and port :8080, for example, 192.168.1.65:8080. |
||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | Log in to FileBrowser using the default login (admin for both the username and password) and change the password immediately. |
||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Download the backup file from the FileBrowser interface. |

| 23 | NOTE: |
||
| 24 | Starting FileBrowser each time you need to use it can indeed add an extra layer of security, as it ensures that the file manager is only accessible during the periods when it is actively needed, reducing the time during which it could potentially be compromised. Additionally, the use of a secure password is always recommended, especially when using a tool that provides web access to your server's files. |
