by participate, I mean would you run a server? (if you don't know how to set one up or what this means, I'd be more than willing to help you set things up-- but basically, it's a way for people here to download files from you)

if enough people are interested I'll get things going and add the forum.

you are ideal for this if:

1) you have bandwidth to spare
2) you have your computer on more or less all the time

Id be very interested. I got a load of Game Soundtracks.

I'm interested of course, but i don't know how to do, i need some help :o

What's FTP?

I can use FileZilla, but the problem is, how many hours a day must the server run?

what is a FTP

What's FTP?

file transfer protocol. a way of sharing files. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ftp


I'm interested of course, but i don't know how to do, i need some help :o

I'll be posting tutorials assuming there's enough interest.


I can use FileZilla, but the problem is, how many hours a day must the server run?

you can run them as few or as many hours a day as you like. but if it's only going to be one or two, it'd be rather pointless.

also, I'm pretty sure filezilla is just an FTP client, not an FTP server.

There is FileZilla Server and FileZilla FTP client, and I think I can provide around 6 or 8 hrs/day of server time.

I'm interested but i think i can't run a server for many hours.
Better to leave it to someone who know how to do.
Sorry, it was a good chance to help this site ^^

I think I'd benefit from using the program too. It's definitely a good idea!

I have my computer on 24/7 so i could def run a server for a very long time.

sounds good but im not very good with comps but i'd like to help

Hello there, my first post on these threads, even if I already read them from time to time. ;)

So, yes, FTP is a great way to share files. I often download files from FTP servers, but, unfortunately, my upload rate is very very slow, and I never create FTP servers. Sorry...

I do not like FTP for uploading files to.

I had an account on Fasthosts some time ago which the only way to send HTML files was via the FTP. It kept saying "Operation time out". Even I'd disabled and re-configured the firewall, the problem wasn't lifted.

I've moved to another host that has a file manager and that is the method I prefer for uploading files.

My conclusion to this is I don't prefer FTP. If it wasn't for this problem, I would participate. I am sorry that I can't be of assistance. :(

I'd love to help but, sadly, the server that I use is not a server that I can alther to my needs...

That, and I think that FTP transfers have been disabled by the admin...

I would help if there was a tutorial but I've had bad experiences with FTPs and servers where I wouldn't be able to connect or the people that should be providing files were always offline. I'm afraid of this happening to GH.

Also, I don't have complete soundtracks, just bits here and there from all over, would that be a problem?

It could be a start...

Sadly, though, I also don't know the ups and downs of FTP transfers... Sarah should post the tutorials soon...

Ive been trying for ages to get an FTP server going, but NAT has thwarted my every attempt. Id definitely be interested in this.

I have no experience in FTP at all, but since I'm planning on getting a new compy by the end of the year, I would be down with that. It sounds like a great idea.

first of all, i would like to say hi to everyone, for i am new to the forum.
this website is like a heaven of music for me. I have never seen a site this big since gameing force audio. (RIP)

anyways

i would definently be interested in participating in being a server. i can devote at least 4 to 6 hours on certain days for now (in the process of moving) but once im seattled in, i will be getting some helluva bandwith to dish out, and i also have 4 hdds of music ready to roll.

keep me posted.

I'd definetly like to help as much I can. Thing is, either FTP doesn't work on my computer or I just don't know how to use it. Any other suggestions?

Would be cool. I don't have the bandwidth or space, but I would like to contribute to an FTP or upload soundtracks.

FTPs are cool, but I think establishing an IRC channel would be easier. You could list your video game rar's via XDCC packs, and the channels would be on an easily accessible server. If you don't know what IRC is, you can look it up HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC). What does everyone else think?

isn't there already IRC on the site? Assuming I can get past my university firewall (which could be the interesting part), I have the runtime and bandwidth to do some ftp-ing, along with the multiple gigs of music required.

haha, I would, but I'm setting that all up as we speak, can't let 1 Terabyte of bandwidth be wasted every month ;)

I'd like to run one, but as I only have one IP address I'm unable to do so...

Yeah i reckon i'd be up for that. Once we get our better router (which should be soon) it will be no problem. We do get unlimited uploads but i dont know how our ISP would react if we suddenly had a huge spike in usage. But i would host it for as long as possible anyway.

Count me in ;)

Usually ISPs give you warnings or updates saying "Your jump in usage seems odd" blah blah blah. Just tell them...you got porn crazy.

ISPs can tell the difference between upstream and downstream bandwidth. No one in their right mind would fall for that line when someone's uploading goes through the roof.

Haha Yeah exactly. Its called sarcasm.

What they have to do with that? We can use more bandwith one day and less in another one!

ISPs will still compare your average usage to any spikes in usage. They usually trigger a bandwidth usage response. Typical ISPs. :D

Id like to help but Im without internet and whats worse my telephone company wont want to install it to me anymore..

that's when you say [EXPLITIVE] the telephone company, and call someone else.

I'd have to say our ISP owns pretty good - for an aussie ISP :S. All i can say is f-u telstra go suck some other rube into your lies....

I have a stuff,named:My Game Rip Collection (Direct Links) ;-)

we already have one ~

I will pass on using ftp. Just look at my sig. I officially state that I'm still using prehistoric connection. FTP is the last resort for me, because my speed is dropped to 3 kb/s. downloading an album will take forever.

I will participate in the FTP. we can use a very good program named Easy File Sharing Web Server if you want the program i can upload for you.

I already have a cracked version of this program.

You can crate your own FTP using your IP, and the maximum capacity of the FTP is your hard drive (disk).

P.D.: I'm a spanish speaker so I don't know if my english is very good. :)

see you later.

http://www.sharing-file.com/images/screenshot6.JPG

this is an example of the program.

the download speed it depends of your internet conection

I'm also willing to participate, as my PC is online pretty much all day long. However, I only have DSL, so I'm not sure if I would have the sufficient bandwidth to run it as a server. (plus, you would have to walk me through the process, as I've never dwelved that far into networking)

Otherwise, I'm definitely interested in giving it a try.

I have a ton of music and CD cover art I would love to share it but I'm clueless as to how

Nyaa, sure, but I'm about to ask a really stupid question that every self-respecting person should know. What's bandwidth? I have an IP, I already have a (slow) FTP site (68.51.221.111), but if it costs money, then I dunno...I may still help though.

Ftp is a great idea!

well, as long as all the content on the site remains and still gets updated, sounds good. However, if the ftp aproach is going to replace all site content, then bad idea I say.

no, it won't be replacing anything

I like the FTP in GamingForce,Yes,GH can too!Direct Links or FTP,it's same.So the DMK's good old gamerip(direct links),final fantasy & others squarr enix music(direct links) and my game rip collection (direct links - ghoulies rip,so me ^^) will be also placed in the future galbadia hotel FTP forum?Because GF places the direct links and the ftp in the same forum.

What's FTP??? And how about Quizilla to point us to what final fantasy character we are???

I'm in. Just keep me posted on things I have to do.

I would help, but I can't leave my compy on for a long time.

Sorry! I would if I could

And FTP has been disabled for my server

sounds like a good idea

I would participate only by uploading because I can't make my pc become a server. But I think it's a good idea, I've got lots of OST to share ^^.

So finally,a FTP forum will be created?
