sdenike Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I already posrted this in the mac forum... but anyways I heard a while back that I can make my linux Apache server act as a iDisk.. anyone have some information on this? I am running Debian if that matters at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordHatrus Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 So, iDisk is mac's name for when they give you some personal space on a server, so you can get your files from anywhere. ( I had to look that up :) ) Yes, apache is good for that. You want to set up a FTP server, and put your files on it, and then allow access to it. The advantages of this: You can have as many files as their as you want (Rather, how ever many you can fit on its hard disk) <Because apple only gives 100 MB> Disadvantage: You might worry about getting hacked (But would it really matter?) AND Apache is pretty secure, so it probably wouldn't get hacked. There are also commercial (and free) services to do this, where you can get space on a server. <for instance, my ISP, comcast, gave me 50 MB of free space on their server> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsnotabigtruck Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Comcast gives you 50 MB? I thought they only give you 15 MB. Do you have the "pro" version of the service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p3ngu1n Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 iDisk is based off of WebDAV. It is fairly easy to install. Take a look at http://www.webdav.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
