Perhaps using the PUT method to upload files? Just wondering cause I just set up a dumb server and pushing to it doesn't work. If that isn't an option, where can I get a smart server? ``` ## Jeff King, 2017-03-06 15:45 Subject: Re: Fwd: HTTP Dumb Push?

Git dumb-http push protocol goes over DAV. There are instructions in Documentation/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt of the git repository. They're quite old now, and I have no idea if they've bit-rotted over the years. Hardly anybody uses that solution these days (and it's much less efficient than the smart protocol). > If that isn't an option, where can I get a smart server? The CGI ships with the rest of git. Try "git help http-backend", which has some sample config for Apache and lighttpd. -Peff ```
