Transfer/Post Files From Webserver To Usenet?

[604]

Hey,

I'm noticing that some usenet posters are able to post a 5GB DVDR in about 10 minutes.

I assume they are transfering files directly from FTP servers or similar, so their internet connection is not needed.

Does anyone know how to this? Assuming I have root access to a private server, how can I transfer the files to USENET?

Thanks.

Program called PowerPost. Choose files > create pars > pick binary group > upload.

It's impossible to transfer files from FTP directly to usenet

depends what server you have really but considering you said you have root access im assuming Linux.

Install newspost (http://newspost.unixcab.org/) and you can uplaod files from a command line. it also automatically makes sfv and par files if you tell it to.

Thanks, that looks like what I'm talking about.

Don't have the first clue how to install it though. The read me file that comes with it, doesn't really explain much either..

use ssh to login to your server then



wget http://newspost.unixcab.org/download/newspost-2.1.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf newspost-2.1.1.tar.gz
cd newspost-2.1.1
make
sudo make install
(it will prompt you to input your root password)


now just read the man pages to get an idea what the syntax is for uploading stuff.

man newspost

btw some people have windows servers, so they can just use powerpost on it through remote desktop :)

Cool, I think i have it installed correctly, but now can't figure out how to use it.

I found, "Knewspost 1.1" which is a front-end for newspost. Supposed to make it more easy to use etc., but now I can't figure out how to install that. I used the same instructions you gave for newspost (Changing the filename), but it's not installing correctly.

Just setting up a little something for dumping. I followed the above advice and am trying out a new Windows VPS with Remote Desktop. Looks all good so far.
Gotta test out the usenet posting speeds in a minute. Hopefully it`s a lot faster!


EDIT:
Yikes! Just launched Powerpost and it`s posting to usenet at 7-900kbps! And this is just a little 256mb ram, VPS.

Perfect!
