Title: Death's Free FTP
Post by: Deathie on March 09, 2011, 09:08:54 PM
I was just thinking about it, and thought it'd be a nice thing to have.
Really, the purpose could be just to upload commonly played maps and such, or files that members of the community want to upload, like say, a custom skin pack or a map.

I just think it'd be dang useful.


Speedtest for those who are curious: http://www.deathservers.us/test.zip (http://www.deathservers.us/test.zip)


There are two types of service,

Public
Only you can upload files, but can be viewed by anyone (Great for direct linking)

Private
This is a folder stored in the server itself, only you would be able to see and edit it (Storage)


How much space you're allowed depends on what you plan on doing with it.

If you're a mapper, coder, or someone who is simply working on a major project, you're allocated 2GB's of HDD space

If you simply want someplace to share a zip file, or anything unrelated to a community project, you're allocated 200MB's of HDD space.

If you would like a spot, pm me with this small form


Code: [Select]
Username:
Public or Private:
Personal, or project:
A randomly generated password will be given to you.

If you would like to test out the FTP, a guest account is available to anyone.

Hostname: ftp.deathservers.us (Port 21)
Login: anonymous@deathservers.us
password: (Blank)

You can read and write in the /incoming/ folder.


Any questions, feel free to ask.

What's FTP?

File Transfer Protocol

Basically, a online harddrive that we all have access too.

Unlike public resources, you won't have to deal with wait times or advertisements.

It'd be our own private mediafire.

Nothing really except for advertisements and wait times.

I also think it'd be great though to allow each user a sort of storage area.

I know magic would make use of it for PL.

And ya I suppose I could use it for PL, but for the major releases to save ya some bandwidth - I'd be releasing mah own maps on that

Average rate is 250-300kb's per user, give or take.

Total, the thing can transfer at 10MB/s, but it's limited to per-connection.

Don't worry about bandwidth. It's really HDD Space I'm worried about.




edit//

If someone wants to make me a web-based GUI For it, I'd appreciate it.
Aside from that, it's about ready to go up.

Anyone would be able to download though. You would be able to make private folders though, that only you have access too.

I'll start working on setting it up I guess.

Although I'd still prefer someone give me a template so I don't need to make a tutorial on how to use a FTP.

._.

I know how to use a FTP,
but when I started, it took me forever to figure it out :L



And I like WinSCP better.


Plus, it'd be best if you could just give the person a link.






Actually, I can start doing direct linking, I just need a domain :c

this is a very neat idea, we can have folders for people who want people in rnd to download their maps or other stuff they created.

Actually, I can cut the speed down to 100kb's.

Then we'd have unlimited HDD and BW.

Eeeeeeeeeeh.

I'll work on it.

Let me at least get it working.

I made a anonymous/guest account.

Can only read from root folder, but not able to edit or go into private folders.

Working on User-to-user permissions.
Title: Re: Private FTP, yay or nay?
Post by: Deathie on March 10, 2011, 05:10:22 PM
Double posting cause of update.

I think I'm gonna go with a new strategy.

You get your own separate space with unlim hdd space, then if you want someone to download something, you can simply direct link it to them.

Anyone can read and download the files, but only that FTP account can upload.

Speedtest if anyones interestested

www.deathservers.us/test.zip (http://www.deathservers.us/test.zip)

My exact rates were
Uploading - 230kb/s
Downloading - 170kb/s


Let me know what average speeds you get. Aside from some minor testing, everythings really ready to go up. Just PM me what you want login info to be.

So you'd have

/Shared folder everyone has access to edit and configure
/Direct linking for files

I'm seeing if I can work on some sort of private folder for storage/ect.

I'm about to go out for a bit, so I'll set up accounts when I get back.

If you want to fuck around to do some testing, I set up a anon account.


Hostname: ftp.deathservers.us
Login: anonymous@deathservers.us
No password, when prompted to enter one, just press enter.

Anon has access to read the root folder, but not edit. Anon can write in /incoming


So yeah. Let me know any good suggestions.
