on line hosting

[steptoe]

ok, so my problem is,

how can I host a whole folder online without breaking up the component parts into individual files?

I dont actually need to host it online, but, I need to be able to have it accessed remotely and I thought that would be the easiest way to do it.

any ideas.?

UbuntuOne?

Or perhaps dare I say it MS Live?

Ubuntu one is perfect SW,

BUT, it wants me to break the folder (DVD) into its seperate component files, it wont let me upload it all as one folder,

or am I just doing it wrong?

its not a massive folder so space isnt an issue, I just dont know how to get it uploaded as an entity and not component parts.

 

[Sidewinder]

Can you not create a folder then upload the contents in sections if it is not one big file.

Also as per Canoe.

just a thought, could I IM it ? or would that just cause the same problems?

bigfile?

 

[steptoe]

bigfile?

??

my problem is getting it all to upload as a single entity,

is that possible?

or will I have to do every file seperately?

ah, might have found the solution, trying to do an .iso of it, might just work.

2GB

OK, I have 5GB on my Ubuntu one,

do you reckon making an image will work?

 

[Sidewinder]

If you create a .iso image then it would be one file to upload and download then it could be used to re-create the file system on a cd/dvd as required.

You should be able to use bigfile for this too if it is less than 300Mb.

Otherwise could you use a zip file to create a spanned zip then these could be re-created the other end, thus you could just email the whole damned thing!

 

[steptoe]

Is it a one off

yes, my problem was trying to work out how to get all the files uploaded as one folder, I think the image is the solution.

I have plenty of room on my Ubuntu one,

just uploading the .iso now, its 2.8GB so it may be a while. :slap

I hope he is downloading some image burning software too.!

I hope he is downloading some image burning software too.!

he's not yet...what do i need for Mac or windoze...... :C

 

[Sidewinder]

What OS are you using sparky b?

You need the image burning sw for your OS.

Try IMGBURN?

 

[steptoe]

how long realistically will it take me to upload a 2.8GB file?

remember, my interweb is pretty slow, Deke still hasnt sorted out those spiders for me.

 

[Sidewinder]

Dunno mate, try it and see!

 

[sparky b]

What OS are you using sparky b?You need the image burning sw for your OS.

Thanks Sidey,

i'm running windows 7 or mac os 10.

Funny, I was just looking at ImgBurn on FileHippo.....

 

[steptoe]

sparky, still uploading mate! :|

Ive stuck it in the post too, now lets see which is really quicker,

Deke's supergalactic electronic highway or her majesties finest delivery boys, and, its the weekend too.

 

[NozSpark]

Well your upload speed is normally significantly lower than your download speed. IIRC I get about 6 meg download and 1/2 meg upload.

 

[steptoe]

and I have 2.8G to upload, :|
