I just ran into an issue where Go daddy has been throttling my site for download BW. They talked me into moving the downloads to online storage (their cloud storage system)... I had no issues with the direct download link for my software so today I have been working on getting my updates onto the cloud.I created all the folders and uploaded the files. So far no luck. VB6Using the standard connection string to the 'public folder link copied from server'/%file% produces 404so stopped adding servers to the project in wyupdate afetr about an hour and switched gears by testing in IDE exe - so now I am using the -server directly in the vb6 project as:
RetVal = ExecCmd(App.Path & "\wyupdate.exe -server http://files.secureserver.net/'Copied Public Link to folder'/wyserver.wys") ERROR 404RetVal = ExecCmd(App.Path & "\wyupdate.exe -server http://files.secureserver.net/'Copied Public Link to file') Server produced a web page ERROR.
I read a couple cloud posts about changing the file name to .zip same errors. I followed a cloud post for the Amazon s3 and I am pretty much doing the same thing in the Go daddy cloud for the public linking process...Does anyone know of a way to use my downloads on the Go daddy cloud system (Public Online Storage)?
The links produced are in the format: https://files.secureserver.net/'gibberish letters and numbers'
Thanks

This does seem to be the default behavior of the links to open as a web page (auto starts a download of the file)and produces a page with a link to download the file.
Hey Don,
Sorry, none of use GoDaddy here. If they have a way of giving "raw" links (that is, links that don't get redirected to some "download page") then choose that option.
Otherwise, you might be better off going with a more reliable / reputable host. For example Amazon S3.
I just logged in to post this... Go daddyWhat you are attempting to accomplish cannot be done with the Online Storage as it would require that you have the ability to modify the folder permissions. DUUHI was told when I purchased that this could be done... That is why I purchased it...My Hosting plan was being throttled for excessive downloads so I was told I had to purchase the 'Online Storage'for truly unlimited Bandwidth... Now they say I need to purchase a Hosting Plan to avoid this? Is it just me?
DO NOT HOST ANYTHING WITH GO DADDY THEY THROTTLE OVER 5 MB
I also wanted to verify the Amazon S3 could indeed be used...I am going to assume that is a 'yes' ?
Thanks all

Yes, we have a number of customers using Amazon S3.
