Question from complete n00b re: disabling "share" button

Hey there! I'm a comPLETE n00b at all of this, so I'll need extremely basic directions if you know how. I just set up my first PirateBox on the MR3020, running Windows7. Is there any way to disable (temporarily or permanently) the "Upload" button on the main page? If so, how would I go about doing that? I've seen forum notes about modifying the droopy code, but I have no idea what that means. Thanks for any help!

Hi,
login to your box and do

sed 's|DROOPY_ENABLED="yes"|DROOPY_ENABLED="no"' -i /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf
/etc/init.d/piratebox reboot

That disables the startup of the upload daemon. Then...

cp /opt/piratebox/www/index.html/opt/piratebox/www/index.html.backup
vi  /opt/piratebox/www/index.html

Find and remove the iframe with the url to [piratebox.lan]

Sorry, one more question with this. So I got to the point where I can see the iframe line. What now? If I hit the delete to delete the line, it works, but it doesn't seem to save the change. What basic thing am I missing? Thanks!

Well, of course you have to remove the line and save the file...

Cool - that worked!

I couldn't find anything at all to how to save changes, up until that Cheat Sheet. Thanks!
