Computer Nerd Kev Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I just joined the forum and am waiting for the next Heliohost account signup period, so I thought I'd ask something I've been wondering about the service. I know public FTP sites are pretty old hat these days, but there doesn't appear to be anything stated in the Wiki or Terms of Service about whether they are allowed. Perhaps the anwser would be obvious once I got my site registered, but even if it is I'd still be interested to know why. As it is I'd be interested in running a small public FTP site, but I'll still be signing up if it isn't possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 We don't specifically prohibit them. However, if you allow public uploads, you are responsible for what people upload and you only get 500MB of space, so a lot of things won't fit. Also, if any of the files are infected, you might get suspended for malware when the AV scan runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer Nerd Kev Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 OK thanks. I'd be manually checking uploads before making them public. The size limit shouldn't be much of a problem for what I've got in mind, I'm not planning on mirroring my favourite mainstream Linux distro.
