529198	2007-03-01 19:15:00	Can one of our experts tell me, (in words of one sylable), hod do I go about uploading to another computer, in another country. I have about 740 kbpps upload speed so I want to use it. I presume I will need special software, but I have no idea where to start.	JJJJJ (528)
529199	2007-03-01 19:30:00	? Wanna explain on what exactly what you want, or trying to do. Is this a relative or something, in another country? Is it an FTP?? Or a site, or what? If it isnt someone will have to be at the other end.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

If it isnt someone will have to be at the other end. Thanks Speedy. I had a bet with myself you would be first to reply. At the moment I'm not trying to do anything. Say , for arguements sake I wanted to send a zip file to a friend in OZ. How do I go about it ? Say it's too big to E-Mail. Is there some way to do it ?	JJJJJ (528)
529201	2007-03-01 20:04:00	Ah I see, if its too big for say email, you could use IM programs like MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger etc. You'll have to know the mates email addy obviously for whatever program / and vice versa. Add each other / then chat /send whatever. Most or all of them let u send files thru them. You can even send files thru IRC, if u use it. Obviously, if its really big, it helps if both of you are on broadband, it wont take that long to send it.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
529202	2007-03-01 22:34:00	Well back in the days of modems and dialup you just dialled your friends modem, he answered and ou uploaded it direct. You needed to use Hyperterminal or something. Or you could just mail him a CD	pctek (84)

529204	2007-03-02 03:35:00	Run a free DynDNS account so a url always points to your network, run an FTP server with port 21 directed to the FTP server and you are away, although if it is really worth doing this if you are only doing it occationally and this also might be too hard for you, BUT it will be the best cause you can drop the files into a folder and people goto the url (ftp) and they see them, and can DL them, what is even better is that you can give people their own logins and passwords so only authorised people can get to the files.

529205	2007-03-02 03:47:00	End of Reality, could you explain a bit more, sounds intresting... I have wanted to set up my own ftp, but I wasn't sure how I would go about it, would you have to contact your ISP to set it up? Cheers	radium (8645)
529206	2007-03-02 03:58:00	If you really wanna use your 740 kbpps upload speed then play Rainbow Six Vegas for the Xbox 360 online. I have yet to get anything other than a red ping on that game, and average lag on most other games online. But yeah, ICQ, MSN etc work well for it. If you use msn you might wanna disable your firewall or anti virus...I remember I tried to send a file once and it wouldnt let me, said it was unsafe or something.	--Wolf-- (128)
529207	2007-03-02 05:09:00	I have wanted to set up my own ftp, but I wasn't sure how I would go about it, would you have to contact your ISP to set it up? Cheers Nope, nothing to do with your ISP. You can set up ANY computer to host an FTP site ... you just have to make sure the requests can get through any router you have, and your firewall as well! As The_End_of_Reality says, get a free DynDNS account (from www.dyndns.com) and people can always find your computer, no matter what your IP address is :) As long as it's on, anyone authorised can FTP to it and download whatever your allow them to. If you have WinXP Prof, it's part of the IIS install (I think), so it's fairly easy to install. It's getting the router allowing requests through that you've got to watch.	davehartley (3487)
