Allowing students to download files

Files stored in the subdirectory “public” of a task are available to download from the frontend.

For example, if you have a course with course id “courseA”, and a task with task id “taskB”, and if you want to distribute an image named “flower.png”, you will have to put it inside the folder “/path/to/INGInious/tasks/courseA/taskB/public/”.

The image will then be available with the url: http://domain.name.com/course/courseA/taskB/flower.png

This allows you to insert images inside the context of your tasks, and to share additional resources like datasets or slides.

Danger

The files stored in your public folder will be available to all users, without authentication needed.
