Hi all, what is the best way to create a storage cloud using a VPS? I mean something easy to access from phones or desktops. Samba? What else? |

What do you mean by a storage cloud? Something like Amazon S3? Something like Dropbox? Just a remote filesystem like NFS, Samba, or SSHFS? If you want to access it a Linux computer, any remote filesystem would work. Things get more complicated on Windows PCs. And if you want to access it from a phone, you will probably need to build an HTTP frontend or a full-blown app. |

WebDAV is a good option if you want to access from a phone, there are clients for pretty much every platform. However, doing secure WebDAV from Windows will require a client, or some form of VPN/SSH tunnel as (last time I checked) the built in client still won't do WebDAV over HTTPS. I can't remember the client I used, but it was pretty easy to find one when I last found myself in need. WebDAV is pretty basic in most implementations, but for simple shifting files around its perfectly adequate. |

sincerely I need a cloud storage for my mobiles and not really a cloud to share files via computers and mobiles. I noticed that Astro File Manager for Android supports SFTP very well, I will use SFTP for my cloud storage. Ehm, linode, when will you give us some more space?
