Hello. I have a 400 mb file i need to transfer, a lot. Is there a way I can upload it to my server so people can download it, and what would be the best way to upload it, would it be faster to email it, how, or is there a fast easy file hosting site. I have tried a couple file hosting sites but it take 3 1/2 hours to upload and the file only took me 15 minutes to download. any input would be appreciated
I tried them, they were very slow. I did finally ftp them to my server, it still took a couple hours. it uploaded really slow for some reason i even have a faster dsl. thanks for the response.
If you host the file already on a web site, then just add the URL location of the file so when a member clicks it, a downloads starts.
Uploading will almost always take longer than downloading for home users, simply because upload speed are much slower than download speeds. If you have your own server and know the location of the file on another, login in via root and navigate to your public html folder then run: wget domain.com/file.zip (change this to the URL of the file) You will then transfer the file from server to server.
