Accessing lighttpd web pages via usb port

[Pete6]

I have a Pi 4 with some lighttpd web pages. The site works very well from Windows 10 Chrome or from my phone via my WiFi LAN.

Since the Pi uses USB for power I was wondering if it was possible to access these same web pages via the USB port. How would I do this please?

The main technique is to run the USB-C port of the 4B in device mode to emulate a network adapter and transfer all the web pages through USB. Note that this will be roughly a factor of five slower than using the built-in gigabit Ethernet port. More information is at

Thank you. I shall try the solution. Speed is not so much a problem but I will see what testing brings.

Thanks again.
