• Hello!

Am looking for a web-based FTP service that actually WORKS... I don't have home access to a pc anymore, so this is my only hope of updating and continuing to develop my wap n web sites (short of moving to a free server, but that would be a waste of my £40) - anyone any advice, tips or URL's?

Um... Internet Explorer does FTP - just type in the ftp address, a box comes up asking for your UN&P, and then off you go...

I've tried that, but can't get it to work :o( - problem is, my ftp hostname is the same as my website address lol

I'm going offline now, so can't reply to msgs till Fri/sat, but will read everything and anything posted...

I've found web2ftp.com pretty handy on occasion, thanks to the firewall at work.

just type this into internet explorer:

username:password@my.host.com

it's like MAGIC!!!!!

What Cal said.

I can assure you that your ftp hostname is not the same as your website address =]

Sure it can be, it only resolves the IP address. It's only the port no' that makes the difference.

can be? it NEARLY ALWAYS IS, although it can also be something else too. like iamcal.com can use any of the neuron domains as it's ftp host, and it can also use any of neuron's raw IPs

so there you go :p

Eh?
When can a FTP address be a HTTP address?

Arrgh I said hostname

We'll forgive you

i wont

go on! It wasnt his fault. He got confused

oh ok, but only cos im in love.
(not with Grim... though)

phew Chandler I thought you were so that's eased my worries!

Yes. It is possible to have the same name for http service and ftp service.

They just use different ports and of course a different type of protocol.

ftp usually uses port 20 and http uses 80

gl

what port is email then?

110 for pop and 25 for smtp usually

pedant mode: ftp is port 21 for control (and used to be 20 for data)

a iana full list is here: www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

and as for email...

smtp: 25
pop2: 109
pop3: 110
imap3: 220
imap4: 143
imap4-ssl: 585
imap4s: 993

That is alot of ports, i knew pop3 and that was it

I love port talk. Fuck all this stuff about periods! This is what real men get up to, technical stuff ;)

lol :D

no there's a difference between "real men" and "freaky net geeks"

Is there? Fuck! I best get that tattoo changed then

So what can I change "Use port 25 on my host and I'll shit down your neck" into?

what ports do IM clients work through, or am i stuck in uber pedant land?

I think MSN works on 1080 as default. Someone (cal) correct me if I'm wrong.

yahoo: 5050
aim: 5190
icq: 5190
msn: 1863

all but msn also allow you to connect to their servers on port 80


(1080 will be your firewall sul)

I really don't know what anyone is talking about here. Not a clue.

Which is funny because I had a phonecall last night from an old friend saying:

"Look, I'm having a bit of trouble with my computer, I think I have to reformat it or something. I thought you'd know what to do, being a computer geek and everything"

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"computer geek", I ask you, I struggle with turning the bastard thing on!

Hey Sul, that tattoo sounds brilliant ;o)... Erm... I tried what Cal said, and got the following error message:


HELLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

try ftp.lonely-world.com/ then fill in your username and password,

I just tried it and it works(except the user name and password bit)

doesn't work in Mozilla though :(

Try shutting down and restarting.

I could work in IT :)

Don't ring the microsoft support line, or you will take hours formatting and reinstalling

Vic use your lightsaber, or make a cup of tea

Doesn't work - I just get the same message :o(

I'm using the local library's copy of IE 5.5, maybe i should wait till school restarts, and try it out on one of their computers?

Why is that when I ask for help with my webpage I get made fun of, but when other people ask, they get help.

*pout*

I did find out what was wrong with it though. Our hosting service is shitty, so we are changing it.

Actually i made fun of both of you :)

pft .. pft.

I tried to help nov, I said it looks like the database has run off

Come here Ana and use my connection

It maybe the firewall that the library has?

"pft .. pft"

is that the sound of you spitting out little curly hairs Nov?

Could well be, beargod - I should have thought of that before, shouldn't i? Dammit, back to square one then...

hahahahahahaha.

That was so funny chandler.

hahahahhahahhaha, but no. That was me sticking my tongue out and making funny nosies.

who designed your site nov?

oh right nov :D whatever you say

well, www2ftp seems to work, but it's in German... is anyone able to translate?

Chay

:-Q~ ~ Nov pft pfting

That's sick, dude.

There's more, but I've just run out of time
I only know French, Spanish & Latin :o(

ana, if you need help translating just lemme know
no time today, but weekend is fine

You know Latin, that is amazing, no-one seems to teach it nowadays

Some private schools still do apparently....

oh well im not sure.

Editeren - edit!
Neue Datei - New File
Loschen - Delete i think

my mum learnt it at school, bloody useless, stupid plant names and medical terms is all it is good for.

yeah, private schools still teach Latin. My father could speak latin, and gaelic.

Where as i can speak English and Scottish...oh, and some French, some spanish.

Klatu Veratis Nichtu!

My old school still teaches it...

caecilius est in horto, sedet (i think)

Latin is useful for slogans aswell

What ever will be will be

Evado meus terra!

tempus fugit

Ana, have e-mailed you good translating tool :)

have had Latin in school (plus dutch, enlish, french, german)
speak serbo-kroatian as well

earthworm: My roommate is graphics designer by trade, so I did the designing and she put it all together.

terra-forma

nice one... it looks good... I only wish one day I may be that good!!

Compliments to the designers...

up pompeii...

Salute!

bonjour

Thank you. I wanted something that best represented me. Although I have to place a bat in there somewhere. I am getting a Tattoo on my lower back soon. It is going to be a Bat. I just have to come up with the design first. I want something Gothic with the Bat being the center.

So, if someone wants to email me some ideas I will take them to heart and who knows your design my end up being my Tattoo.

Yes i will cos I am the worst drawer/designer in the world

Nov, i will see if i can come up with something....i helped design my mates, and also my own.

I look forward to seeing your design beargod and FL.

By the way FL I love your picture. Your a cutie and I have a crush on you. :P

Don't you prefer the women like the rest of us Nov?

hee hee ;D

Gothic tattoos on the small of the back, that idea could catch on.

have you got a tattoo Vic?

plenty

so you have none then?

I have none

vicky heehee

i have some

some?

well i say plenty, actually its two with another on the way soon.

3,

a lion on my left shoulder,
slash from guns and roses on my right
and EST 1981 at the base of my spine

and supercalifragalisticexpealidotious on my weapon

must be very small writing then

wow, does it read SS when its not ready for action?

if i had a tattoo it would say "tosser". oh hang on, all tattoos say that dont they.

dammit, remarks like that dont make me more likeable do they. :)

not really....remember, each to their own.

lol:D

no it says that when it's not ready for action, when it is, it is streched!
it says SS on my uniform

Why have such a strong opinion. It's only a fucking tattoo :/

why are tattoos bad chandler?
you dont enjoy much do you?

Chay enjoys films and music!

:D i jus think why the fuck bother basically doodling onto your body permenently. escpecially when half of them are uninspired lions dragons and swords and football club logos and little hearts with girls names in them. zzzzZZZZ

yes fl! :D

they never look anything other than shit
and anyone with a football club tattoo might as well have Twat tattooed on their forehead

i'd better shut up soon eh?

it just part of making life a little more INTERESTING

and making the person slightly more individual.

having people draw on you is interesting is it. oh right sorry.

chay...ssshhhh

;o)

it doesnt make you an individual! it just means you've joined the ranks of the tattooed drones. it doesnt make you a more interesting person and how can you get more individual anyway, you already are an indidvidual.

yeah sorry! it's my blood pressure that suffers. i dont want my eyes to pop. and it goes without saying that if emma got a cute tattoo on her inner thigh then my opinion on them would do a 180 :D

in your opinion.

I'll stop being a git now.

Do all conversations on here end up with everyone against chay? I mean this started up as an ftp question and ended up so far everyone against chay

Don't get me wrong its good and healthy.

Personally, I don't think tats look good, I never have, but I will sit on the fence for this convo and laugh at chay

not that i want reddy to get a tattoo on her inner thigh, but you know what i mean

My mate got a tattoo of the union jack with "England" under it. I find that this makes him more funny and interesting.

I have a tribal pattern on my right calf.

I dont think anyone is against Chay, we all have different opinions and we should be allowed to voice them.

Plus, we all know that Chay talks shit ;o)

hey i just stopped arguing! hooray for me! im never arguing again! :D

Chay you turd

I want to be different, just like everyone else.

lalalala (ive got those patent pending i'm not listenning musical fingers like in the advert)

vicky :D

Sul why did he get a british flag and have england written underneath? why not an english flag?

Or United Kingdom written underneath

yes

Because he's stupid. That's why I find him about 400 times more hilarious now. He can just show me his leg and I still call him a stupid bastard while pointing a laughing.

haha nice one Sully

I know a bloke who had 'Rule Brittania' tattooed around his belly button, no-one really took the piss though because he was huge.

ok i admit tattoos can be funny then. nothing like a good spelling mistake too.

or those sad wankers who have a girls name tattooed on them and then break up with them!!! hahaaahahhaa.

haha nice one Sully

What was even better was that I was with him at the time and didn't tell him about his mistake until after her got it done. That's friendship for ya ;)

NICE.

BearGod: I enjoy women as well as men. But I prefer the real thing if you know what I mean and gilrs just don't have that. *evil grin*

lol

;o)

Beargod, i take it you like the look of the young lovelies?
