The PingPlotter Pro integrated web server allows access to PingPlotter from a remote machine.  The user interface and functionality of this web server is designed to give the owner of this machine access to trace information remotely.

Enable built-in web server

PingPlotter Pro includes its own web server for this purpose.  You can, however, use IIS as the web server and point at PingPlotter Pro "www" directory and use IIS instead.  If you are going to customize the scripts, it is recommended that you use IIS instead of the PingPlotter Pro built in web server.

When enabled, you can access PingPlotter Pro's web interface through this URL:

http://localhost:7464/

Server Port

The default port for PingPlotter Pro is 7464 (or PING on a telephone keypad).  Change this to something more appropriate if applicable.

Web server security settings

For best security, you'll want to require a username and passport to access PingPlotter Pro's web interface.  If you turn off security, then anyone with a browser who has network connectivity  to your machine will be able to manipulate your PingPlotter Pro sessions (including adding new targets and closing existing targets).

Served File List

For best security, every file that the PingPlotter Pro's built-in web interface serves up needs to be added to this list of files.  There is no way to "wildcard" in the files - each needs to be explicitly added.

When adding, look at examples of the existing ones.  The "HTTP Name" should have a leading slash (/).  The Actual file name should not, unless it's based in the root directory.  There is no requirement that the actual file be in the PingPlotter Pro www path - you can point at any file.

Adding a plus character (+) to the end of the "Actual File Name" indicates that this is a script file (executable) and that PingPlotter Pro will parse it as a command / script file.  The absence of a + means the file will be served straight-up, no parsing.
