87GT Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Buy that 160 gig NAT device someone was selling in the for sale section. I read up on it and you can set it up to have access to it from the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Sounds like you are looking for a FTP server. Do you know "how" to set up a FTP Server? If so, you can get a "static" IP by using http://www.no-ip.com. Nice and easy KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I can hook you up with an account where my server is located. It's a little over $100 a year, you have insane amounts of bandwidth and space, and registering a domain (actual website name) is $10 a year. I need to take a look at it when I get some time, but I should be able to get your first year for next to nothing. Going this route means you don't have to buy any hardware, you don't have to maintain anything, and once it's set up, all you have to do is upload whatever you want. If you stop by the house sometime, I can have you all set up in less than half an hour. This way, if you want to have a website you can, or you can just use it for hosting files, uploaded through FTP, all of which I can show you. I've been with the same place for probably 4 years now, and I've been happy the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 an FTP server is free if it is running off your home computer 24/7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fuzzman Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 You can do it for close to free. You just need a crappy computer with internet access that you dont use for anything else. All the software can be obtained for free. If you would like more info on the software or setting it up let me know I have alot of experience with this kind of stuff. I would also be willing to help set it up and help a brother out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
