andrea31419 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 My current web server, Yahoo, does not support .exe formats. Is there a place to upload slideshows and link back to my website for all to view?Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LumenLux Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 andrea,I am not sure what your arrangement is with Yahoo, but can you store a zip file on your site such that we could download your shows from there? If so, you can surely just post a link in this forum that will lead us to your show for downloading and viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Or, if zipped files containing "exe's" are not acceptable, maybe you could do like we used to do on Beechbrook and change the name to "xxxxxxx.p2e". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yahoo just says that for "security reasons", whatever that is, they do not support .exe files. I want to keep my site at Yahoo, too much work to do it over...I use Yahoo's online editor, but want somewhere to host my slideshows so I can link from Yahoo to where ever I have the shows uploaded. I hope this makes sense.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Yes, I think it makes sense, but not yet the complete picture. Years ago, some of us on this site used Yahoo's Y-drive system to store PTE shows up to 5 mb size for others to download. I would think Yahoo will allow you to have other users download somefiles from your site. Can you set up a part of your website so visitors could download say just your favorite photos? If Yahoo, says yes, then pursue it further with them to see if you repackage your .exe file as a zip, or rename it as Al suggests,etc, if that would work for downloading.Is Yahoo your ISP as well as your website server? Some ISP's such as Comcast, allow some storage space as part of your subscription. I think such space could be set up to store and download from.Worst case is you just have to wait until Beechbrook is again available in June. And that is not a very bad "worse" case.

andrea31419 Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I'm getting my Comcast highspeed internet tomorrow, I'll have to check on that. Using the other site you mentioned, do they provide a link that I can put on my site for downloading?A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I have Comcast as my ISP, but I don't utilize the storage space presently. I don't know anything about "how", but I certainly think they should be willing to tell you if you "can." Whether it is user-friendly easy or whether you will need outside knowledge, I don't know. I do remember some kind of Comcast FAQ or forum with some discussion about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Andrea,If you upload a file to your web site, and make a reference to it on one of your web-site's pages, then anyone can download it by right-clicking on the URL, and indicating where they want to save the file. You can see an example of this on Beechbrook's site, or on my own site, HERE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
