Speed FTP

Posts Tagged ‘storage’

I need a central place to store files, and I’m thinking online could be handy. I own several domains (hosted) with plenty of space, and ftp accounts. I also have several pc’s, some at home, some I travel with. But ftp can be a hassle sometimes. I know there are some free services.

Ideally, I’d like to be able to permanently map a virtual internet drive and just connect whenever I have a fast enough connection.

What are some other options for online storage?

I have a client that wants to make large files available to subcontractors, and their e-mail server is dropping files larger than 20MB. This client is not technically inclined, and I’m not sure about the security of FTP uploads to blind links on a Web server.
I guess my main question is: Do most hosting services have online storage for large files that allow sharing of those large files securely?

I purchased a network storage device. It is basically an enclosure with a 250 GB HD. It offers SMB and FTP shares through an HTML manager.

I can map the shares using my computer or Net USE commands from DOS. The drives are there and I can get to them through dos. However, they do not show up within my computer or as Drive M: (the drive letter I mapped them to). So, my programs do not see the drive shares for use.

Now I have three XP Pro machines, two can do exactly what I want, and one can’t see the drives.

Does anyone know about a service I should check or a security setting?

No, Windows Firewall is not running, nor is any other firewall/IPS product.

Of Course, I can ping to the landisk. It is on the same switch as the pcs.

ANy help would be appreciated.

Are there any FTP sites like 0catch.com but with bigger memory storage like 500-1000 megs?

Storage limit and bandwidth limits are not an option
