I'm sure I've seen this sort of thing, but can't find a reference. I'm
looking for a way to distribute small numbers and kilobytes of files via
the Web (or some other mechanism). Maybe 200kb, a handful of users who
might each download once a year. I'd very much like to distribute
Windows EXE files this way (some services don't allow EXEs). Users must
be able to download, but not upload, files (administrators with an
appropriate password must of course be able to upload). (Some services
don't seem to support restricted users with read-only access -- ZNAIL
otherwise looks interesting. You can use ZNAIL free for small amounts of
space and downloads, with a monetary contribution giving you additional
capacity. Totally free, with no requirement to contribute, for small
capacity: I don't know whether it qualifies as freeware for this group.)
A URL which includes name and password would be nice. Ideally, I give
someone a URL like
www.tinyurl.com/abcdef and tell them to download a
file or two to the desktop. I don't mind unauthorised outsiders
DOWNloading. This could be either a pure service, or a service supported
by software on remote machines.
As far as I'm concerned it doesn't need to be free; 30-day demoware or
adware is OK, though other newsgroup members will be more interested in
freeware. If there is an eventual cost, I don't want to pay for 5GB of
space with megabytes per day of download.
Best wishes,
