FTP Help Needed

I just got a web host that's told me I have unlimited bandwidth and space. However, it seems to be limited to 100 Kbps on the download and 160 GB in storage. Since Omar has shut down Waldo, I'm gonna attempt to make this an anime music video storage server. It would be greatly appreciated if you guys can attempt to upload your amv's to the following anonymous FTP address:

ftp://ftp.projectorperfect.com/incoming/tr

If all goes well, we'll be able to keep this as a permanent repository and download them at ftp://ftp.projectorperfect.com/tr. Please let me know if all goes well. Thanks!

...And watch how quickly the account is terminated once the maximum available bandwidth is maintained for a week straight...

I'll risk it. Got it in one of those eBay auctions. They told me they have almost no one on their server. Heck, I paid only $3 total for 6 months of service. What have we got to lose?

Sounds almost like somebody with Windows 2000 or a Unix box hooked up to an uncapped cable modem or something.... Keep in mind "Unlimited" has nothing to do with the dictionary word unlimited and is ALWAYS redefined in the TOS or is implied as being "within reason" or something like that...Also another trick is them saying "great deal on webpage hosting"... streaming high quality A/V to hundreds of people (even though it may be part of your webpage) is NOT a webpage. Your better off going for a host that give defined limits...at least then you still have a "but you said!" excuse which can be used to crush their customer base if you tell everyone.

Just a few suggestions.

Blast it - okay let's try this:

Username: amv (may have to put amv@projectorperfect.com)
Password: winter

Thanks again!

If you want to enable anonymous access (which you probably don't, but hey, your box, not mine) for ProFTPD, try adding the following to your proftpd.conf:

Code: Select all

<Anonymous ~ftp>
  # this user/group must exist
  User ftp
  Group ftp
 
  # this allows username "anonymous" to alias to user "ftp"
  UserAlias anonymous ftp 

  MaxClients 10

If you want to limit uploads in the anonymous directory:

Code: Select all

   <Limit WRITE>
        DenyAll
   </Limit>
</Anonymous>

Something I forgot to mention (you probably can deduce this by yourself, but never assume anything): parameter following "Anonymous" is the anonymous directory. The configuration I gave you assumes a /home/ftp that is at least world-readable and world-executable. If you wish to allow uploads, directory /home/ftp must be chown ftp or chgrp ftp (with appropriate permissions set).

Having my service provider look at this anonymous FTP problem right now. But someone did upload something! The Monkees with OMG. It rocks! You can download it at http://www.projectorperfect.com/amv/download

*me* <--- Uploader

Try: ftp.projectorperfect.com
User ID: amv@projectorperfect.com
Pass: winter

That worked for me with WS_FTP LE.
The download directory, however, seems to be blocked right now.
