Yeah makes sense. Just make a batch file to ftp the image to some webspace should work.

I can stick it somewhere with plenty of bandwidth.

Remind me this evening and I'll setup an account and give you the ftp details.

Probably don't even need to go that far - I suspect a 75% JPEG would balance filesize/quality acceptably.

 

I wonder if doing a 8-bit PNG with only 64 colours might even give a good balance - just tried it on the above image and it comes out at 103KB (i.e. 40% filesize of the JPG).

 

There are PNG optimising utilities that can probably do that in a scripted way.

IT'S ONLY A SCREENSHOT, CALM DOWN :-@

It's... not a screenshot.

You know back in 1972 when Apollo 17 sent back that famous marble picture and everyone was all happy?


THIS IS LIKE THAT! :@

I assume Pete will now sort it but I've got space if it's needed. Though.... doesn't Teh have plenty of space and bandwidth?

Teh server probably doesn't have FTP running by default, whereas I basically just have to type in a user/pass/etc and it's all there.

 

(The firewall at work blocks the port, otherwise I'd have it all done already.)

btw, I've just created mine.tehforum.co.uk which points at the IP address in the first post, meaning it's easier for people to remember if they play on multiple servers.

May take a while for DNS to propagate though (no idea how quickly it's done these days).

(And obviously if the IP changes let me know and I can update it.)

Nice.

It doesn't have FTP and it really shouldn't have. It does have SSH server so you can SCP files to it. And should you want a GUI for SCP, I highly recommend the lovely WinSCP.

I assume he's got pinging turned off or something since I get no response, but either way, I just tried pinging mine.tehforum.co.uk and it resolved to 94.173.2.75 so it's done here by the looks of it. (BeThere)

Is it better/how is it better than filezilla?

That's a good point, I've been using WinSCP for my SFTP needs when I can just use FileZilla like I do for everything else.

Yes. But. Who else cares about our little world? :C

Peter, convert & attach yourself to the Minecraft code. Awesomeness.

edit: OH GOD, NO!!! F' that, please don't, otherwise all kinds of exact, pedantic stuff will start happening... :-@

The Pheonix Maze is now open. Please follow the rules and take a friend.

Hooray, the FTp thing would be grand and most bodacious.

 

My IP is dynamic, but in practice it's been the same for the past year or so, even after the tiem I forgot to pay my bill and got disconnected and had to wait a day to reconnect, so hopefully it should stay the same.

:'D

I like your maze, but I have no friends to let me in :(

 

Also, the TUNNEL OF DEATH is now open. The scariest, most dangerous place in all of Minecraft. Monsters, darkness, strange bumps in the night. The wise will stay well away, the foolish will enter and risk it all for the glory of success. Dare you be amongst those who make it through alive? Available at Warp location DeathTunnel.
