I was wondering if I can upload a ZIP file to my server and then make it public by sharing the link with others

For example I was thinking about an URL like this:

http://mydomain.com/files/test.zip

The question I have if this method of sharing files is secure.

It's obviously possible to do this, and it's no more (or less) risky than putting up any other content on your server and make it public.

  • Hopefully needless to say, but if you have directory listing enabled on your web-server then the file will show up on Google and friends. – Hennes Jul 12 '14 at 12:09
