Free Upload Hosting

[Roosh]

Hi.
In searching for free sites to upload images for sigs & avatars, I've been pointed in the direction of
>http://www.daikatan.org/
>http://www.chinkii.com/uploads/
>http://fhost.org/

which are all good, but I also wanted to upload other types of reasonably sized files such as .pdf or .torrent.

The FileHeaven crew gave me a link to their webspace: http://members.lycos.co.uk/pleasedowhatyouwant/index.php

Here, you're able to upload pretty much anything up to a certain size, but it hasn't been reliable.

Can someone recommend another site to try for what I've just mentioned? I'd do the googling myself, except I'm not sure how to label my search; everything comes back something to the effect of "get free hosting for your website". Just looking for free space to upload small files...

Cheers. :)

This is where ISP webspace comes in handy, or setting up your own server.

Pacbell doesn't offer a webspace with your plan? I couldn't check it for you, you need to login to see what your plan offers.

If You only want to upload small files You should get an account at geocities.
Or any other free hosting service, there's a lot of Them ;)

Its the best. When you add a image somewhere you have to add &ect=.jpg or &ect=.gif or &ect=.png

Yeah balamm, I've always wondered what SBC has for me -- I'll look into that as well. (Do I call tech support? Just hunt around my.yahoo.com?)

Go to the SBC website. There is probably a My Account link that will give you the details. I have Verizon, which includes 10 MB of webspace. Its not alot but good for hosting images and the occasional screen shot.

Ok -- I'll have a look. ;)

An update on my free-host.com account:

I signed up, uploaded a 434kb pdf file, it was successful, it created a link, and when I click on the link, it leads to a blank page or "The page cannot be found" page every time. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, their customer support address leads to

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

which isn't too reassuring.

Theyve had that problem for a while
when you click the link its something like this

content/s/h/n/shn_free-host_com/Tux-Linux.gif

remove the content/your/user/name/username_free_host_com

and just add the file to it like this

SBC/Yahoo does not really add anything new to their members package other being linked right into their exsisting SBC account. Just go to GeoCities (http://www.geocities.com/) and your account should be recognized. No need to sign-up or activate anything so long as you have enabled cookies. It should allot at least 15mb, which is sufficient for general web storage. Which is basically all I would use it for. I had an exsisting Angelfire account for years now so I really never bothered with using GeoCities when I signed-on to SBC myself.

Dial-up or DSL?

The only way to go. Anything less would be a waste. B)

Shn,
I tried that, but nothing new. The fact that it's a pdf file and not an image, what would it do if it were working? Go directly to DAP at which point someone could download the file?

I agree. Well, I do have 260mb of space in my briefcase @ Yahoo -- but can I make links that so others can access the files I upload as well, or is it only for me?

PROBLEM SOLVED :lol:
I think should 260mb should be able to cover it. ;)

Thanks.
