An FTP question...
« on: July 28, 2009, 11:40:33 AM »
Hi Hi, I have an FTP question.  My DNS FTP thing seems to be running quite well and trouble free, I have one account setup and can freely access the files from the box from wherever I am.  My question is as follows, say I have a file that I would like to share with many people (It's a DJ mix that I made a week ago and it's about 130MB).  Is there a way to have a link to just one file without anyone having access to the rest of my files or requiring a user/pass??

Perhaps just a simple HTTP link that I could email/facebook/msn to my friends...

Is something like that possible?

thank you

How about a simple ftp link that you could email/facebook/msn to your friends?

It would look something like this ...

ftp://mydyndnsurl.org/user:pass/filename

Yes - such a thing is possible - now go find a basic tutorial on ftp and start reading.

Thank you for your help but I am hoping not to show my login/password or simply have the file in an "area" in the NAS box that is accessable without a login/pass.

Have you considered anonymous ftp?

Whoa, I'm such a dumbass.  I setup a basic anonymous account which only has access to one folder that's setup for read only.  Easy as pie.

Thank you very much for your help, this worked perfectly.

I mixed dj sets all the time, post other djs sets all the time - I put them up on mediafire and just share the link..it's so much easier than letting people eat up your bandwidth .. :)
