Ok guys so i have everything setup its all good, all the files and all but i cant seem to upload the game on to my dedi server.its being hosted from a staff members computer at the moment.so if anyone can help or give the info on how to upload it id be very grateful.thx guys.
copy paste from computer -> dedi desktop
upload it to a file hosting site
shout at it and it will move their with its tail between its legs.
use your brain god.
1) copy - paste --> good, when send short files.
2) upload to a file hosting --> good for big files. but waste time... upload to the hosting.. then download to the dedicated... aarrrg.
and if any file fails, repeat all the steps.... no no no
efficient solution, must be:
Install Ftp server in your dedi.
Install ftp client in your pc... upload and download files quick and easy. (filezilla is a great option)
Advantages:
1.FTP is the fast and efficient way of tranferring bulks of data across the internet.
2. It has an automatic backup .Whenever you edit your files in your local system you can update the same by copying it to the host system in your site. So in cases where your site has crashed and all the data is lost you have a copy of it in your own local system. It also works the other way round.
3. FTP gives you control over transfer. That is, you can choose the mode in which the data is transferred over the network. The data can be transferred either in the ASCII mode (for text files) or in the Binary mode(for executables or compressed files).
4. You can work with the directories on the remote systems, delete or rename the remote files while transferring data between 2 hosts.
5. While using FTP, tools like macros can also be used to make your work more efficient and easier.
Last recomendation:
While you dont need to transfer files.. stop the ftp service in your dedi..
ftp is not secure though, is the only reason I never use it.
