Link to a page or file on a WP site by IP address

  • I need to make a file accessible on our website, but the host accessing it cannot resolve with DNS. So I need to be able to essentially make a link like this:

    https://10.10.10.99/foldername/filename.txt

    This doesn’t work. The browser says I am accessing an insecure site, and the page it shows is: 404 Not Found nginx

    The IP is dedicated, but to my Siteground account, not specifically the domain name.

    How can I make this work?!?!

    This is not a WordPress question.

    You can make your https:// site with IP address work, but you need to get a separate SSL certificate for it. And it needs to be a publicly accessible IP.
    Private IPs (such as 10.0.0.0/8 or 192.168.0.0/16) wont work (you cannot get a certificate for them).
