[Qgis-user] How to create a local (LAN) plugin repository

[Alex Mandel]

I'm pretty sure it expects to pull the repo data over an http connection 
(Port 80). So you will need an internal web server. There is a version 
of apache called XAMP that will run from a usb stick or hard drive, and 
doesn't take an install. But you're better off just talking to your IT 
people and getting a small internal only website from them.

Thanks,
Alex
