Hello,
I am the owner of a small web hosting company. I have been lurking here for a while, benefiting from all the great information that has come from the XDA-Dev community. I figure it is time for me to give something back. I know its not much but its a start until I can think of something more to offer.
I am willing to offer free file hosting for all developers on xda-developers.com. This is open to any developer who has actually worked on the rom/app/game/fix/patch/etc they are releasing. This is not for the people that release un-modified files simply because they like the rom/app/game/patch/fix/etc.
This would be permanent file hosting including http download and ftp access with your own unique username and password. I can also setup a file manager for those who would rather not bother with ftp. Your files will not be throttled, nor will users have to wait in queue to download. Your files will not expire or be deleted(unless required by law). The only restrictions are the ones I mentioned in the last paragraph and I would prefer the files only be linked from xda-developers.com. In other words if I see 100s of people connecting from someotherdomain.com I will impose a limit where files can only be accessed by links found on xda-developers.com.
If you are interested please PM or email me at [email protected]. Please keep in mind, I am running a business so please be patient while waiting for me to respond back.
Thank you.
I am signing up for a new dedicated server. I will have unmetered bandwidth, and was willing to offer part of the server to the devs here at XDA for uploads, etc...
Contact me here, or PM me, if you're interested.
This will be offered to devs at no charge.
If any other forum members are interested in web hosting, contact me.
the website is yagoolio.info, will be changing all around over the next week.
Ok... So I have uploaded the latest leaked deodexed 2.3.15 to the server. This is not the new server, but the link *should* stay the same. Anyway, in the mean time, here's a faster server to download from for now. Let me know if there's any other files that should be added.

Guess no one's interested at this time.
give it some time, im interested. Hate having all my stuff on mega upload. Would it be real easy file management?
Yes, may even be talking about having a remote desktop account, just rdp in, download files from wherever, and instantly they're available in your directory, much faster than uploading (sometimes) especially if they're already on megaupload somewhere.
If you need mirror space, toss me a line to jfiguranh AT gmail and I will be glad to host your files for you. Server is on The Planet in Dallas with a good connection.
Hi All,
Didnt know were to post this so i thought i would put it in here!
I host files online, and just wanted to let everyone know that i can host for you! Link: Dobbys Downloads!
I dont charge, i do it for to help out, and im no good ad developing programs, graphics or roms (Still learning though) so i thought id give something back to the devs and members this way!
If you do need me to host anything at all for you then please let me know. I will make a dev page solely for you and your items.
Thanks for reading

Hi, is this running of your own web server connected to your PC or is this hosted with a hosting company? DynDNS.org is the reason I ask.
Odd question you may say. I also have a file hosting site, click my sig, it generates around 50GB+ of traffic per day. If this was running off my home server I'd hit my monthly data cap in just a day.
I wouldn't want you to incur any charges from your ISP.
Other than that, I applaud your generosity.

Hi,
I know what your saying, i own my own company, use a business isp, and its uncapped.. which is good... running all from my home. this is currently on a win 7 pc, but moving to a dedicated server which is also being built at home. Its a IBM/Custom stacked system. which will give pretty much 100% uptime and have a much better designed hosted website...

I'm looking for an app that will allow me to access and save files on my server (WHS 2011) from my phone and tablet, and also upload pictures taken from my phone to my server (like the dropbox service). Is there an app that will allow me to do this?
i would also like to know this

Yes, there is. You can just use ES File Manager and connect to the share across the network.
If you want it to work anywhere you are, then you'll have to configure your router and firewall to allow this.

Not sure if your WHS has FTP or not, but if it doesn't you can install a simple FTP server like FileZilla. Then you could use one the many ftp sync apps to sync the photos folder of your phone with the server.
Just an idea.....

Thank you! This looks like exactly what I was looking for. I have never set up an ftp server, is filezilla a good one to use? Also do you have a recommendation for one of the apps to use?

OpenVPN + ES File Explorer.
Or any combination of VPN + SMB aware file manager.
Or as others have mentioned, you can simply do FTP. Remember though, FTP is not encrypted, and is a heavily targeted default port for script kiddies and professional hackers alike. At a bare minimum run on a high number non standard port, and preferably also don't allow access from the entire internet address space... That's still just security through obscurity, aka, not real security, but it'll help a tiny bit. Seriously though, if you've never run an FTP server before, I'd at least use a VPN, then go in over FTP, rather than just opening up to the entire internet.
Personally... I just use S3, and use that to store my files in the "cloud". It's cheap, just as fast to upload to, and you get the benefit of extremely reliable storage. Aka, if your server crashes, house burns down, etc etc. You can also use reduced redundancy storage on S3 if you wanna save a few bucks.
I then regularly sync certain S3 buckets to my local server from S3 for fast network access. Really up to you though... Lot of different ways to achieve similar outcomes. The biggest benefit to me though is I rely on S3 as a backup, and hence don't have to worry about backing up locally/off-site a 2nd time.

Filezilla is very easy and intuitive to set up. They also have very good instructions for beginners

Agreed. Also, for the app side of things, Foldersync is great. Ive used it in the past. You can read about it here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full&hl=en
As for the whole FTP being insecure thing, yes and no..... By changing the default por from 21 you should alleviate most of your problems. Even then I doubt youd really have any issues. Ive been running a web server with ftp enabled ON THE DEFAULT port for over a year and have had no issues. Im pretty sure youd be fine.
I use app called Sweet Home! You dont need to install anything on your WHS just set up configuration on your app with your WHS logon credentials.
Once complete, it syncs all of my photos and upload them to my designated directories on WHS when your phone is plugged to charge.
I also made a setting so that any photos older than 3 months are to be deleted on my phones but to be remained on my WHS (I knly have 16GB and always full of photos). thats the beauty of having WHS, it acts as your own cloud storage.
I have a WHS 03. This app also works on NAS if you have it.

You don't need OpenVPN. Windows7 and Server 2008+ both have pptp vpn servers built-in.
That's true, they totally do. But Windows VPN solutions are incredibly unwieldy.
And I wouldn't wish the pain of configuring it properly on my worst enemy.

Check out AeroFS basically what you asked for in your original post. Provides the app to set up hosting on your home network and an android app for your phone. Interface and use is incredibly similar to Dropbox. Plus for individual user it's free.
