I would like to host ROMs on my server....is that illegal if i do. Because it seems like goin to file host sites takes forever and files get deleted. Any Input will be wonderful thank you.

I am doing a bit of an experiment, I have created a simple site that is basicaly a directory for winmo programs. It doesn't have much on it now but I will continue to work on it. Go ahead and email/pm me any roms and or programs that you guys want me to put on. It is cabgateway.com/ . Oh and I know that M$ doesn't like rom hosting witch is partly why I am using M$ to host the site mooooohahahaha. Steve at cabgateway dot com
Hi,
I would like to offer SVN hosting for ROM developers and their ROMs. This service is for HD2 ROM chefs totally free, without any charge in the future.
The only reason for this is that downloading from many web-based multiloads is very slow.
If you're interested, please, contact me through personal message.
I will write there SVN address, when first person upload his work: )
Note: If your ISP blocks SVN port (3690), it's okay, there is a choice of port redirection through port 80.
/* How to checkout repository */
Address of repository is svn://svn.dacesilianas.cz/xda-roms.
(If you have troubles with default port, you can use svn://212.80.85.51:80/xda-roms.)
If you're using Windows, you can download TortoiseSVN.
Great

Great idea! thanks for that
Great idea - i would love it - BUT - i think we already tried this with zzattack's mirror and I think there was difficulty in keeping it updates with all the latest releases.
You're right, but this can be caused only by ROMs authors.
Me, as ROM author, I would release my new ROM, so I upload it to SVN and everyone can download it, because our ROM repository is global for all ROMs.
Versions of ROMs will be written in SVN log and "by folder" I can show only versions of "my favourite" rom.
I think, this should work.

I would love a collaboration of sort to get a mirror interface setup (much like cloud) with nodes in US, EU and APAC. So Chefs upload to mirror nearest to them and the other nodes replicate automatically. And of course people download from node nearest to them.
Seems doable and makes more sense to me
I only want to make some possibility for ROM downloading. I hope, this should work and it's up to you, if you use it. If not, nothing is wrong.
Since ROMs are downloaded by only few people at once, this is okay. Try it and we see.
My company site has unlimited space and bandwith so I figured why not give access to the people who have helped me the most!
Figure this would help when you are trying to get your new Roms, app, and other developments out there.
PM me with the username and password you would like and I will create you a directory on my server.
your url would be www.cybermetricsystems.net/whatever_you_want
I also offer a solution for dev's...I've had a thread about it before.
It allows an upload to be made which is stored on the server with a web seed.
Fastest way possible to distribute files. (also the first of it's kind)

Let the hosting games begin!
im all for ftps and such, but, why arent we using torrents rather than hammering a ftp/webserver?

I think main reason is so that the main file dosen't get altered and someone else reposts a crap file, but could host the .torrent file on the FTP if you like...
RAPIDSHARE!!!! lol, i actually paid premium for that thing..

Real reasons for here are:
Not always sufficient seeds
Can't access files on mobile
I've fixed the first, the 2nd is on it's way.
Also, torrent files can't be altered...the hash is dependent of the file contents.
Hi all devs for our fantastic phones...
I've got a site (xdafiles.net) with over 700 GB of space and 7,5 TB of bandwith/month.
Me, and many others with me, have been very frustrated over the random file sharing places that the devs use, and I've also seen many devs asking to get their files mirrored. I'll firstly make the files available through ftp/direct link download (available just after upload like any other server), and after files get added I'll make a ftp-browser for people to browse throught the files with a browser at xdafiles.net.
This server has very good speeds up/down, so no need to d/l with 100kb/s any longer!
DEVs, or other individuals wishing to contribute with some files related to xda, should leave a comment or PM me. I'll give you a user/pass for FTP. The adress for your files will be e.g. "http://xdafiles.net/novek/xxxxxxx.zip".
So, this is one of my possibilities to contribute, and hope that rapidshare etc. will no longer be used
I can also mirror stuff if need be. 100mbit, unlimited bw a month
Hi guys,
isn't there someway to develop my Android apps on a webserver so I can work on them via FTP on any machine ?
I have a problem of not being able to continue work on a project once I leave work or leave home.
Please help me.

Maybe even use a SVN.
It's a bit of a hassle, but I just use dropbox. When I finish working at home I copy the project to dropbox. When I get to work it's ready to go. Copy it back again before I leave work.

Actually I seccond SVN (or GIT if that's your fancy). It can sometimes be tricky to setup on a remote server but the versioning is well worth it.
I got the impression it wasnt just going from home to work and back that he was having trouble with though. All good suggestions though
OK ?

Thanks

I appreciate the dropbox suggestion.
As an aside, I put a document into my dropbox on my Linux computer at home and immediately checked for it on my dropbox app on my Android phone - it was not there.
Neighter was it avaiable at work hours later at work - don't know how I might force it to refresh.
How about Eclipse RSE ?
As an Android developer using Eclipse comes with the territory.
I came across some thing called RSE( remote system explorer ).
From what I've read, it should give me FTP access to remote files.
But it fails when I try to configure a "Remote system Type".
Does anyone have sucessful experience with this ?

It sounds like you need to better explain what you're actually trying to do. Are you trying to just take some files with you, or are you trying to be able to access your home computer remotely?
They have different solutions. It sounds like maybe you are confusing the two.
VPN/RemoteDesktop/VNC all have to do with accessing a computer remotely which is what you said you were trying to do originally. However it sounds like that's not what you need. Maybe I misintepreted your post. My appologies.
If you're just trying to take your project from home to work and back, then you should set up a server with SVN (or Git or Mercurial) somewhere, possiblly over SSH.
This can be on your home computer, or work (depending what ports your network admin allows), or on a hosted third party server (such as a shared hosting server like BlueHost, DreamHost, or iPowerWeb or something). I'd recommend the hosted 3rd party solution.
Though, if you use linux at home SSH is built into your system.
Dropbox and FTP are OKish, but you might as well just use a USB stick or something...
But SVN and Git have real version control and intgrate with eclipse. If you have it setup properly you can just hit a command in eclipse's project explorer and all the changes are commited to the remote repository.
So anyways, SVN is my advice too
Thank you very much alostpacket !
You were right about needing to explain better. I was not trying to achieve a remote desktop access solution. I was looking for a way to work on my Android projects without have to copy then on a USB or email them to myself.
I use a VPS to host my websites and I assumed I might be able to work on my Andoird projects via FTP from my server so regardless where I am, I have access to the same project - I don't know if you guys think that is possible ?!?
However, I will start to investigate SVN and Git.
Thanks again.
No problem, I'd say check with you VPS provider too, often times they have tutorials on how to set up SVN, or sometimes even automated one click installs.
There will be some learning curve with using SVN, but it will give you a lot of control over versioning your work. It's WELL worth the effort.
If you ever make a mistake you can easily roll back to an earlier version, or you can "branch" off from the main codebase to try out a beta feature and merge it back later with side by side views showing you where all the changes are.
Most every experienced developer uses some type of versioning control software (SVN, Git, Mecurial, CVS, or SourceSafe).
Git does many of the same things but is a bit more advanced and more designed around larger projects with teams of developers working remotely. (Git was developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel teams to use). Mecurial I think costs $$ and is like git. CVS is a bit old, and SourceSafe is a Microsoft produc that I think also costs $$.
SVN is based on CVS and is intended to be the successor and more user friendly than CVS, but it's still takes some time to learn and some patience.
Many Android developers use Git though, so the choice is up to you, however I think SVN is a bit easier to learn.
FYI a SVN inside a dropbox works too.
