Downloading Games via FTP
« on: August 27, 2010, 10:01:01 pm »
Since Ipower tends to drop people's connections halfway through larger downloads, I decided to make a public access FTP folder on the server people can download the game and upload their own games to.  As long as it doesnt become spammed somehow I will just keep access 100% open to that folder.

To log in, download any ftp program (I recommend filezilla) and use the following credentials:

host: ftp.swordofmoonlight.com
username: ddaccess
password: password#1
port: 21

For now the newest versions of DD will be kept there as well as any public demos you guys want to make available.  Please try to keep the public folder clean and dont use it to deposit anything that is not SOM related.  Since the folder is part of the overall ipower account and not part of the swordofmoonlight main domain, you wont be able to link to your files without using some sort of FTP program.  So if you post about a file you uploaded, make sure you list the login information so people can get to your stuff to check it out.

You need to minimum be sure there is no way to access files here via http. Remember it can't be reachable under your generic ipower domain name also. As in otherwise I (or anyone) could easily/completely hack the website with this much info.

PS: Also this is ok for developers / friends of the site of whatever. But it's not acceptable for the general public. I've never had trouble downloading stuff here via http and my internet service is nowhere up to basic cable capacity. But you might recommend download managers (I'm pretty sure ipower downloads are resumable) and if necessary look into pay download services. The main advantage I see in offering people ftp access is it's much faster I think (because ipower allows it to be)
