Hello guys, this is my first post on the forum.
I'm a novice when it comes to code, I want to know if what I want is achievable and how it can be done.
I have a file server which is basically a Dell Tower PC running Windows 10 with file server software. The file server software allows me and selected users to access the server externally via a graphical HTTPS Web interface.
The problem is it doesn't get used an awful lot. Having the PC constantly running 24 hours seems a waste electricity for the amount of use it gets. What I want to do is keep the PC in a S3 Sleep state and wake on demand.
At the moment my Web domain points directly to the servers external IP address. Instead I'm thinking of re-routing it to a webpage hosted by a provider that allows custom Html.
Im thinking if a script can be built to:
1. When the visitor arrives at the hosted webpage, send a magic packet to the PC to wake it from S3 State.
2. After 10 seconds, allowing time for the PC to wake up, re-direct the visitor to the PC's Web interface.
Any help appreciated.
