I have been trying to figure out a way that we could post some stills from our work to the board...
Does anyone have an extra 200/250 megs of space on their server they would be willing to donate for this??
Thanks
Good Luck

I certainly have the server space to dedicate, and would be happy to do so. There's a few things that may make my server services less than perfect though, mainly cos it sits in a corner in my house:
1. I'm on 512K Broadband, but upstream to the end-user will be 256K. If bandwidth consistently became an issue I would want to review the situation and possibly stop hosting for the board.
2. Like I say, it's just a desktop-class server sitting in the corner of my house. No uptime guarantee (though right now its uptime is 238 days).
3. I don't have a static IP address but I do subscribe to a DDNS service which updates my DNS name each time my IP address gets changed by my ISP. This change-over period has been known to cause issues in the past, though it happens relatively infrequently.
4. Tech support will be lousy :-)
If no better offers come along we can follow this up.
Miker--
It wouldn't be a place to host the board but rather a place where people could post some images from their projects to get feedback.
Perhaps we could iron out the details off the board??
Thanks
I've emailed the address listed in your profile.
Sounds like a good idea.
I've created an area on my server
http://harp28.kicks-ass.net/~exposure
and uploaded a test picture using ftp

so how is everyone's skills with ftp then?
Excellent! What's ftp? [img]redface.gif[/img] [img]confused.gif[/img]

guess I'd best knock-up some instructions then.
can I assume that most of us are going to be using 2000/XP or OS X ?
Put simply, FTP is the best way to upload! Remember on Geocities where you have a box that you search for a file and put each thing up induvidually - well FTP is nothing like that. It's more like using Windows Explorer - try downloading ftp explorer at ftpx.com ..
It's a drag and drop method of uploading files, you can access servers like ftp.bigpoo.com etc.
And, I kind of have my own server but it's not a shareable one sadly. I hope to get one in the future that will be shareable.

i'd recommend Cyberduck on the OS X side.
with Windows, using IE you should be able to type in the address bar:
ftp://[email protected]
assuming everything is working ok (and i have supplied you with the password ;-) you can drag and drop onto my server.
