As many of you already know I am now running a ftp server on my website. I am giveing away free space to anyone who wants it. minimum 2 gigs per account, more available apon request.
All I need is a user name and the password you would like to have and I will create an account for you.
There is a shared folder that anyone with a account can access and upload to. (I hope this will become a place to share code and ideas)
Now you may be asking your self:
1. what is ftp?
2. what can I do with this space?
3. is it secure?
4. what about viruses?
5. is passive mode supported?
6. this is free?
answers
1. FTP stands for file transer proticol, it alows you to upload files and download them from my server. I recomend that you use a client program not IE or Fire fox
2. this free space is good for backing up your files that you dont want to loose. Pictures, text files, code, homework ect...
3. Yes it is very secure. every file is scanned as it is uploaded and the entire server is scanned nightly. A raid setup is being implimented so that data is always backed up.
4. see 3
5. passive mode is not curently supported, there is someting not right with my router that needs fixing.
6. yes this is free, although if you like my service you can always donate money to me, any donations will be used to make the server better ^_^
