Retrieving files from remote IPython notebook server?

Question

I don't want to share my SSH access to users of my remote IPython notebook server. Is there a method to let users browse non .ipynb files and download them?

Answer 1

In that case, you need to refer to FileLink and FileLinks that are built-in packages:

from IPython.display import FileLink, FileLinks

FileLinks('.') #lists all downloadable files on server

The code above generates:

./

some_python_file.py

some_xml_file.xml

some_ipynb_file.ipynb
