mr2mk1g 10 #1 October 14, 2004 Anyone got some tips on a good way to host some files. Something like a free FTP server somewhere? I'm sick of having to get a mate to host the odd file for me. Nothing big, just a couple of little edits and some pics or something. Anyone know of a nice little service out there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #2 October 14, 2004 GeoCities seems to be ok. They give you 15MB of free storage. It puts Yahoo ads on your page because it's "free", but you can pay a monthly fee if you don't want the ads on there (and you get more storage space with the fee). http://geocities.yahoo.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #3 October 14, 2004 Or here is a whole list of other free web hosting services: http://dir.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Business_to_Business/Communications_and_Networking/Internet_and_World_Wide_Web/Network_Service_Providers/Hosting/Web_Site_Hosting/Free_Hosting/ I have personally never used any of these because I've always had web space either through my ISP or a home server, but I've been to some of the free GeoCities pages and their ads seem to be less obnoxious that some of the other free site ads.

pilotdave 0 #4 October 14, 2004 There are tons of free FTP servers. If you've got high speed internet and no router/firewall, it's really easy to set up. With a router, things get a little more complicated, but it still can be done. I used to run skydivingmovies.com on the Serv-U ftp server. There are plenty of others though.
