What I am trying to do is find a remote host for an FTP server.
I have a bunch of clients that consistantly need to upload large files such as CAD drawings to us here at my work.
I know any host could provide FTP service, but I need the ability to set up indivudual usernames and passwords for certain dirrectioies. We dont have any internal servers at my location to do this so I need to look elsewhere.
An anyonomous FTP was was fine for a while, but allot of our customers are competitors with eachother and we cant have them seeing eachothers prototype drawings.
Anyone know of a remote FTP solution?
BTW, if it could also point our domain “choftp.com” to it that would also be huge.
I dont know if this is what you mean really, but, theres a program out there called BulletFTP (I believe) that lets you setup usernames and passwords, and I think it’ll let you do it for seperate directories aswell, but Im not sure… Try it out though, you never know, I may be right once in my life
if you have a server you can set up diffrent accounts for each client and restrict their access to the folder you specify theres a few ftp server apps if you want to host the ftps locally on your server or host
well i have a friend that offers webhosting services im sure he could do this if your interested let me know ill call him up ill need some more info like how much space, clients and bandwidth usage your gonna be using so i can let him know he uses a linux server so im sure he can handle this task
ok i just got off the phone with him email me so i can email you the pricelist when he sends me it tonight because hes not in his office right now, ill email you the pricelist as soon as i get it
