Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way I can use the internal webserver to display a simple text log file on the router filesystem on a web browser. For example, if I were logging dns transactions to its own log file in /tmp, how would I go about being able to quickly access that file as raw text from a web browser (rather than logging into a terminal). I recall this was fairly straight forward on my old tomato router, so I'm hoping there is an easy way to accomplish this with merlin. I am using the LTS build if that changes anything.

Thanks in advance for any help!
 
Not sure if this is responsive, but you can use scribe to create a particular log file, then uiScribe to display it/download it from the web browser. Or use winscsp.
