do you own a server ?
 

if you do are you able to control it from you HD (add, delete files) ? do you see it on ' my computer ' or ' my network place ' ?

what? are you serious...not trying to be funny, i'm just too tired to research your nick to see if your for real

Say what? :S

If I owned a server, I sure hope I wouldn't be able to see it via "my computer".

i dont make sense :disgust

i am trying to host files on my own server. i was just wondering do you have to sent the files to the server or can you just copy/paste them on your 'server' HD located on ' my computer ' or wherever ?

K. If I understand what you mean....

Either your server is windows or unix / linux. Either way, you should be able to mount an access point to it. Windows would be something like network file sharing, windows to unix / linux would involve samba mounts. Most likely, you'll want to use FTP / SFTP & SSH, unless you're in your data center and are working directly on your server.

Man. Now Im confused...


Wait. i was that way before. Now I have a headache.

Any webhost that installs Samba on a production server, I'd stay the fuck away from.

Ask your host for FTP details, don't touch SSH.

search google for the following words:

ftp
linux
apache
root access

Why would you recommend root access if he doesn't even know how to upload files to a dedicated server? Next you'll be recommending rewriting kernel code.

If it is windows 2003, and you are using remote desktop, you can change the settings in your sign on box. Where you put your IP in to log onto the server there is an options button. Click it and goto local resources tab. Under local resources check disk drives. This will then show your local drives as drives under my computer on your remote desktop. Not sure how I understood you, but I did get it. :winkwink:

Have you tried contacting your server provider?

that was next on my list

nope, I don't...

that was my plan i am planning to open a tylenol affiliate :winkwink:

thanks for help everyone
