Download ebooks from Calibre-server with Windows
I am running Calibre and Calibre-server on a Linux box at home, with port forwarding configured on my router so that my Calibre-server is visible to the net. I regularly use Calibre-client to download ebooks onto my Android tablet.
My question - is there a tool available for Windows 10 with which I can download ebooks from my Calibre-server? I'm not interested in running a separate instance of Calibre on my Windows box, with its own repository. I just want to be able to download ebooks from my existing repository so I can read them on my Windows box. I'm running sshd on the Linux box, so I'm certain I could download any .epub file using sftp, but I was wondering if there was a way to do this within the Calibre world. |

You can use any browser to download books from the calibre server.

calibre-server is a server, it creates a website. Try the thing you are looking at right now.

Not all servers are webservers. In fact, most of them aren't. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of standard IP protocols, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of custom IP protocols. HTTP and HTTPs are just two of them.

My first assumption is that a website offers HTML. So I would try it and find out -- either a win, or no harm done. ![]() ![]() Especially since we are discussing a standard feature of an end-user application. ... Full points for being "technically" correct, though. |

I don't think I'd refer to IMAP and POP3 as "esoteric". Ordinary users use many of these "esoteric" protocols everyday.
Still, I might have recognized that Calibre-server was serving http, from its default port: 8080. |

NNTP, POP3, FTP, HTTP are just some of the common 'servers' There is always a 'protocol' involved for access . ![]() Same tipstill applies, if you run the standalone calibre server (it defaults to the settings used in the GUI) . The CLI allows you to override the default setting |
