Hi, I desperately need a web server that is free, and will allow me to host compressed files (e.g. .sit.binand link to them from other sites)



Any ideas?

    I think he means webhost, not just a server. But, either way, no, I don't have any. Have you tried iDisk? I know you said that you are having trouble with yours, but why not create another account?

    I wish that it was that easy, but my university network will not allow iDisk to work - I think that it is the Firewall. Any ideas?

    you can do that at freeservers.com i think (not sure bout linking from other sites but you can try it out) but they suck as a host speed wise. but what do you expect its free.

    I have a webserver (robo.cx) which i run from a G3/400 with OS X and Apache. I can lend you some space on it as long as you don't need massive space or bandwidth (how many people are going to be pulling the files? 10 a day? 100's a day? 10,000 a day?!?)



    Email me at robo(at)robo.cx
