#ftp cloud service

[catoperated]

After you hit a certain age you notice the paradox of how the internet is forever yet also things on it can very easily be lost. It’s why there’s a thriving Lost Media community trying to dig up the most obscure shit no one ever thought about backing up, and copies may still be in storage units somewhere.

Whenever there’s an abandoned unit auction you never know if someone’s gonna find something lost for decades, and you’ll also never know how much was destroyed because the buyer didn’t consider it valuable enough to resell.

And then communication. For a while you had your old standards of BBS and IRC and then the dot com bubble happened and there was an explosion of different competing services. Few people remembers John McAfee’s racist Wigwam app (he fetishized First Nations people and also called people who partook in his mini plane hobby “sky g*psies). We wouldn’t know how deeply disturbed he was for a while, and McAfee Virus Scan was bundled as part of Windows bloatware for years.

Mumble, Teamspeak, ICQ, IRC, Skype… there were more, but it already sounds like Bart’s chant in Little Treehouse of Horror III.

We traded ftps for the cloud, which still leaves you relying on someone else’s computer to keep your files safe. I don’t want to think about how much data I’ve lost over the years. After Douglas Adam’s death, they found he owned every type of Apple computer released until his death, all of them full of fragments of unfinished stories. I’ll always have mixed feelings on preserving works when creators specifically asked for them to be burned upon their passing.

So there’s my bit of middle-aged navel gazing for now.

tl;dr: make multiple copies of shit you wanna preserve, and at least one better be physical.

…this was supposed to be me lamenting how many de rigueur platforms have come and gone and now there’s multiple vying to replace our current crumbling haunts.

The Department of Homeland Security plans to use four-legged robot dogs, similar to those developed by Boston Dynamics, in raids on suspects. The robots will be used to jam networks, disable devices, communicate with humans and otherwise act as walking "denial of service attacks."

. . .

Everyday villains don't have robot dogs, but savvy homeowners surely already know that wireless cameras are easily disabled with cheap WiFi-jamming gadgets. Disabling a Ring-type camera is even easier. Home security calls for wired gear, not running the wires outside, and having the footage copied to the cloud automatically—even cheapo Chinese camera sets can dump over FTP.

Idk if I'm onto something at all, but I think I connected two dots of frustration just now.

Okay so, I'm fucking around in my phone. Still hype that FTP is built into the file explorer. Genuinely, that's a solidly good thing and it's a damn shame that doesn't exist for literally every file browser. But when I go to look for photos, I realize it doesn't match up with the filesystem. All of our pictures in the "bonibel" album in our gallery are just scattered haphazardly throughout DCIM and Downloads. And when we use another app (Element in this case) to pull up a picture, it's using yet another method of fetching files, unless we go through 2-3 extra screens to get to the file explorer.

And when I was explaining this annoyance to my gf, I recalled a Tom Scott video where he talked about how gmail's labels work and took the place of folders there. Recall ofc is hazy and needs plenty of salt, but what we remember was that the way emails are organized in gmail is that they're all just in one spot and labels are attached to just filter them out.

And I'm just like, really annoyed by these two instances of taking our directories away. Directories/folders are, if not the best way of organizing stuff, the way that all modern operating systems are built upon already. Organizing stuff into folders (for us at least) is incredibly intuitive since that's how it's done in every other computer that's not an appliance. (And it's done in these appliances too, they just don't let you get into them)

Idk, this is a bit of a late night ramble, but I'm frustrated, annoyed, and downright worried about the way tech is going. Corpos don't want us owning anything. They don't want us fucking with our devices. They want you to replace your computer/phone/console/tablet with a new one instead of any ability to extend its life yourself. Everything is locked away and obfuscated so they can keep you on the thing the way they want it. Cloud services. Subscriptions. Forced automatic updates that install adware. App store monopolies. It's all this shitty capitalist takeover of quite possibly the greatest invention in human history.

[livseses]

Here's a fun thing that might help if you're savvy enough to figure out how to install:

https://chibisafe.moe/

It's a cloud file uploader but the cloud is whatever computer you set it up on.

You can also find free DNS servers out there so you can use a URL for yourself instead of an IP address.

Or you could also look into FTP server!

Like, it's been so nice to not be reliant on cloud hosting services, and just save stuff to our HDD in our home computer.

I am begging people to use LibreOffice and personal storage devices like hard drives or USB sticks instead of relying 100% on Google Docs. LibreOffice is free and open-source, it saves files to your own computer, and it lets you save as many different file types. You can write in it, format ebooks in it, and do everything you might possibly need to do as a writer.

"Oh, but I'll lose my USB stick--" Fine, back things up in whatever cloud you use as a form of extra protection, but you should also try your absolute damnedest to also put them on some form of storage that isn't a cloud.

I know it's not accessible to everyone, but if you at all have the ability, don't rely on shit that lives on other people's computers. Especially with everything going on with AI theft and aggressive censorship of adult media. If you don't store your files on your own personal computer that you have control over, your files aren't fully yours, and they're at the whims of whoever owns the cloud.

Learn where your files are stored and how to access them. Get into the habit of backing up your files to your own personal storage. Even if you're not up for intense tech research and you don't care about how the computer actually works, please stop letting your art live in corporate clouds.

Before deploying, it’s essential to ensure that your Laravel application is production-ready. Here are some preparatory steps:

Update Dependencies: Run composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev to ensure that only production dependencies are installed.

Environment Configuration: Make sure your .env file is configured correctly for the production environment. You’ll need to set up database connections, cache, queue configurations, and any other service keys.

Caching and Optimization: Laravel provides several optimization commands to boost the performance of your application. Run the following commands to optimize your app for production:bashCopy codephp artisan config:cache php artisan route:cache php artisan view:cache

Assets and Front-End Build: If your application uses frontend assets like JavaScript and CSS, run npm run production to compile them and ensure that assets are optimized.

Database Migration: Make sure your database schema is up to date by running:bashCopy codephp artisan migrate --force

2. Choosing a Cloud Platform

There are several cloud platforms that support Laravel applications, including AWS, DigitalOcean, and Heroku. Let's look at how to deploy on each.

A. Deploying Laravel to AWS EC2

AWS (Amazon Web Services) offers a robust infrastructure for hosting Laravel applications. Here's a high-level overview of the steps:

Launch an EC2 Instance: First, you need to create an EC2 instance running a Linux distribution (e.g., Ubuntu). You can choose the instance size based on your traffic and performance needs.

Install PHP and Required Software: Once the instance is up, SSH into it and install PHP, Composer, Nginx (or Apache), and other necessary services:bashCopy codesudo apt update sudo apt install php php-fpm php-mbstring php-xml php-bcmath php-mysql unzip curl sudo apt install nginx

Configure Nginx: Set up Nginx to serve your Laravel app. Create a new Nginx configuration file under /etc/nginx/sites-available/your-app and link it to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/.Example configuration:nginxCopy codeserver { listen 80; server_name your-domain.com; root /var/www/your-app/public; index index.php index.html index.htm; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log; }

Database Configuration: Set up a MySQL or PostgreSQL database (you can use Amazon RDS for a managed database) and configure your .env file with the correct credentials.

SSL and Security: Secure your application with SSL (using Let's Encrypt or AWS Certificate Manager) and ensure your firewall and security groups are configured correctly.

Deploy Code: You can deploy your Laravel application to EC2 using Git, FTP, or tools like Envoyer or Laravel Forge. For Git deployment, clone your repository and configure your environment variables.

B. Deploying Laravel to DigitalOcean

Install PHP, Nginx, and Composer: SSH into your droplet and install the necessary dependencies for your Laravel app:bashCopy codesudo apt update sudo apt install php php-fpm php-mbstring php-xml php-bcmath php-mysql unzip curl sudo apt install nginx

Configure Nginx and Laravel Application: Configure Nginx to point to your Laravel application’s public folder and set up SSL.

Database Configuration: Set up MySQL or PostgreSQL on your droplet, then configure the .env file for your database credentials.

Deploying the Code: You can either deploy your code via Git or use an automation tool like Envoyer to streamline deployments. You’ll also need to configure file permissions for storage and cache directories.

C. Deploying Laravel to Heroku

Heroku is an excellent choice for quick and easy Laravel application deployment with minimal configuration. Here’s how you can deploy a Laravel app on Heroku:

Create a Heroku App: Sign up or log into your Heroku account and create a new app. This will automatically provision a server for you.

Install Heroku CLI: Install the Heroku CLI on your local machine if you haven't already:bashCopy codecurl https://cli-assets.heroku.com/install.sh | sh

Configure the .env File for Heroku: Heroku uses environment variables, so make sure you configure your .env file correctly or set them directly in the Heroku dashboard.

Deploy the Code: Push your code to Heroku using Git:bashCopy codegit push heroku master

Database Configuration: Heroku offers a managed PostgreSQL database that you can provision with the command:bashCopy codeheroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev

Run Migrations: Run database migrations on Heroku with:bashCopy codeheroku run php artisan migrate

3. Automating Deployment with Laravel Forge or Envoyer

For smoother deployment management, you can use tools like Laravel Forge or Envoyer.

2.3 Transfer Information on the Internet

Cloud storage enables productivity, collaboration, real-time file sharing, and email communications, allowing users to send attachments or share files through services like Google Drive. For simple file transfers, smaller-scale services such as Filemail, WeTransfer, and Send Anywhere allow you to send files without signing up for an account, though they often have limitations on file size and availability. Paid options are available for larger transfers.

Additionally, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is commonly used for transferring files over the Internet, especially by web developers. FTP works via an Internet protocol, allowing users to log in using an FTP client (like WinSCP or FileZilla), navigate directories, and transfer files between a client and server.

Web hosting is the initial, basic, and most important step that your business will need for you to have an online presence. Most people fail to understand how web hosting works or even what it is. This is a guide for all non-techies and business owners wishing to gain basic information about web hosting.What Is Web Hosting?Learn the basics of web hosting from this YouTube tutorial playlist. It is exclusively compiled by fromdev for beginners. A Web HostA web host is a company that has servers dedicated to housing your business. This is basically where your online shop or website will reside online. At a small monthly or annual fee, web hosts provide servers to store all your business information necessary for you to run your website, online shop, or blog. So, basically, your web host will give you disk space for your website and the disk space will determine the number of files you will have access to.Domain NameThis is your online brand. This is the name you will be identified by. You can use your business name or the product’s name in a city. Once you have a domain name and a host, you will use a file transfer protocol; FTP to send files from your computer to your web hosts. The domain name will be recognized by the host to complete the FTP file transfers.MySQLYour website’s or online store’s information must run through databases. The databases allow you to store your data in tables and rows. This is made possible by MySQL databases. Essentially, MySQL reads data inputted from a script on the web server then creates, adds, updates, or deletes data as commanded. This is a very important feature that you should look for. Fortunately, even the cheapest web hosting companies will offer this in their packages.BandwidthThough not a big techie jargon, bandwidth is a word used to imply the amount of space that a signal transmits through. You cannot send big files through small bandwidths. If you do, the transmission will be slow and if running an online store, you will lose customers because people hate slow ‘internet’. Only chose a web host with unlimited and scalable bandwidth for efficient operation and high traffic flow to your website, blog, or online store.UptimeTo attract more visitors to your site, you should have a web host that offers reliable and continuous usage time of your website. Downtimes discourage customers and will lower traffic to your business. Inexpensive web hosts strive to give you services with approximately 100% uptime, which means that you or your client can access your site from any place at any time.Types Of HostingYou could be wondering about the suitable web hosting for your business. There are diverse types of hosting but the most common and the cheapest hosting is shared hosting. It has its disadvantage but sharing servers with many other websites will lower the costs of server maintenance per person translating to lower monthly fees.Dedicated hosting is also offered by inexpensive web hosts but you will pay a lot more because all the server maintenance costs fall on you. The other types of hosting include Colocation hosting, Windows, Cloud, E-mail hosting, UNIX hosting, VPS hosting, E-commerce, green, reseller hosting, and managed to host. All of these will be suitable for specific business and personal needs.In conclusion, knowing these basics will help you get the best web host for your business. You should, therefore, look out for these features in your web host. They should also have systems that support website building and marketing of your information and products.Lewis Brown is a web host offering the cheapest web hosting services in packages that will boost your business presence and growth online. He is a blogger and a travel writer as well. You can learn more about web hosting from his blog.

**The Evolution and Impact of File Upload Technologies**

In the digital age, the process of uploading files has become a fundamental component of both personal and professional activities. From sharing vacation photos with friends to submitting important business documents, the ability to upload files efficiently and securely has transformed how we interact with technology and each other.

**The Early Days of File Uploads**

In the early days of the internet, file uploads were a cumbersome process. Dial-up connections were slow, and the file sizes were often limited. Early file transfer protocols, such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP), were used primarily by tech-savvy individuals to move files between computers. These methods required a fair amount of technical knowledge and could be prone to errors and interruptions.

**The Rise of Cloud Storage**

The advent of cloud storage solutions marked a significant shift in file upload technology. Services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive revolutionized how files were uploaded and stored. Instead of relying on physical media or complex FTP setups, users could now upload files to a remote server with just a few clicks. This transition made it easier for individuals and businesses to manage their files and access them from anywhere with an internet connection.

Cloud storage also introduced new concepts of file sharing and collaboration. Users could now upload files to a shared folder and collaborate in real-time with colleagues or friends. This feature proved particularly valuable for teams working on projects from different locations, as it streamlined communication and ensured everyone had access to the latest versions of documents.

**Security and Privacy Concerns**

As file upload technologies evolved, so did the concerns surrounding security and privacy. The more files we upload to the cloud, the more critical it becomes to protect that data from unauthorized access. Many cloud storage providers have implemented robust encryption protocols to secure files both during transit and while at rest. Additionally, two-factor authentication and other security measures help safeguard user accounts from potential breaches.

Despite these advancements, data breaches and cyber-attacks remain significant concerns. Users must be vigilant about the information they upload and the platforms they use. Understanding the privacy policies of cloud services and employing best practices for password management are essential steps in maintaining the security of uploaded files.

**The Role of File Uploads in Modern Business**

In the business world, file uploads are crucial for a wide range of activities. For instance, professionals routinely upload files to share reports, presentations, and other critical documents. This functionality supports seamless workflow integration and enhances productivity. File upload technologies have also paved the way for the rise of remote work, as employees can easily upload and access files from any location, fostering a more flexible work environment.

Furthermore, businesses use file uploads for customer interactions, such as submitting support tickets or providing feedback. This feature streamlines communication and improves customer service by enabling users to provide detailed information or documentation that can be reviewed by support teams.

**Emerging Trends and Future Directions**

Looking ahead, file upload technologies are expected to continue evolving. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are likely to enhance the efficiency of file management systems. For example, AI-driven tools could automatically categorize and tag files, making it easier for users to find and organize their documents.

Another trend is the growing emphasis on decentralized storage solutions, such as blockchain technology. These systems offer increased transparency and security by distributing data across a network of nodes, reducing the risk of centralized data breaches.

**Conclusion**

The ability to upload files has become a cornerstone of modern digital interactions. From its humble beginnings to its current state, file upload​ technology has significantly impacted how we store, share, and manage information. As we continue to advance technologically, the evolution of file upload methods will likely bring about new innovations and improvements, further shaping the way we connect and collaborate in the digital world.

Number of Endpoints: An endpoint in Celigo refers to a specific application or system that you want to connect. The more endpoints you need, the higher the cost. For instance, integrating a CRM system with an e-commerce platform would count as two endpoints.
