Aria2C + OpenWRT
- Tutorial
Have a nice day. Today there is a need to remotely download a couple of files to the router. I decided to share how I decided this question. Of course, you can use the usual wget by going to the router via ssh, but somehow it is not convenient. Googling found under OpenWRT only Aria2C , of course, maybe I was looking badly, if you suggest more options, I will only be glad. It fits all my criteria, plus a nice bonus: it also downloads torrents and ftp just as easily. The only drawback is that there is no web interface, but this drawback is easily fixed. Although for the test, you can go the other way about this a little later. In general, all interested please under cat
The installation itself is extremely simple, literally in two commands
Create a file with server settings
Let's edit it with any editor convenient for you
For example, my file
All settings are intuitive, for explanations and additional settings you can refer to the documentation , even in Russian.
There was no time to write the startup script, so for now it cost a simple command to start
For remote control, you can assign any port, the main thing is not to forget to forward it, how to do it can be read here .
Everything can be checked.
To manage all this, there is a ready-made program for Windows, you can get it here , but unfortunately I have Ubuntu so I had to look for another way. It was also found quickly, it’s a very convenient and nice web muzzle, it can be downloaded here and put directly on the router, but in my opinion this action is superfluous so as not to load the router more than once, for this there is a direct link on the developers website here it is . After downloading, go to the settings and drive the external ip of your router and port, that's all, good downloads.
PS wrote the topic at work in his spare time, do not kick much for errors.
