Download sites and upload sites using wyBuild

Hi,

I'm following the Walkthrough for Wybuild and I need help regarding the following steps:3:E (download sites) and 3:G (upload sites).

Could you please provide me with information regarding online service/storage providers that I can use for both steps, preferably free but otherwise I'm willing to pay a fixed monthly fee for the service/storage. If possible, please also provide a short guide of how to set it up.

Safety is important so if possible I would like some kind of encryption option (SFTP for example) and users should only be able to read/download files, not write or make any changes where the files are hosted.

If there are no online service providers that can help me, should I instead use a NAS (network attached storage) device for example and in that case which one?

All advice is highly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

There are literally thousands of options. Google "VPS options" or "web hosting". Then pick one you like.

Thanks for the quick reply! I've noticed, however with too many choices its hard to choose anything :pAs I understand it, VPS options and web hosting are two different solutions. I really just want an easy and inexpensive solution. Could you please recommend a service provider (website) with a simple solution to my problem? It would be highly appreciated!

Honestly there's not an easy answer to that. Cheap web hosting is often crummy web hosting. And the better hosting costs money. You might try Digital Ocean or Linode.

Sounds great! Thank you very much, you've been very helpful.

Just to make sure and please excuse me if this is a dumb question: As I understand it, my users won't be able to see any login credentials I use in the "Upload the updates"-tab in Wybuild in using for example FTP. They will only be able to see the login credentials I add to the download site in the "Download Sites"-tab in Wybuild. Is that correct?

Once again, thank you for your help.

For a download site you should use HTTP. HTTP servers are faster and you don't have to worry about granting special privileges to certain users.

If you want to use an FTP site, then the download site would look something like this:

ftp://user:pass@yoursite.com/updates/%file%

Thanks, how about the upload site, will my users be able to see any credentials regarding my choice there (FTP for example)?

No. The credential are only used when uploading the updates (which is entirely in your control).
