ok i figured id make this a sticky and hope that some of you can read Wink

this is very simple but at the same time its a little involving. but mainly very simple and im sure some of you wont have a problem figureing it out.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL OF WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU.

first off, you can only upload pictures here, you can not delete or move them.
you can however creat folders. this is very important, if your folder has more than one word, do not use any spaces at all. it makes shit difficult. when creating a folder in the main directory you simply click your right mouse button, then depending on your browser it might say new, or create new and select folder.

uploading is quite simple aswell. you simply select the picture or movie on your hard drive that yo want to upload, click your right mouse button and select copy. then you go to the webpage and you go into the designated folder. push the right mouse button and select paste and it will automatically paste it onto the server.

if your still here, great, although im sure ive lost a few.

to get to the sevre here is what you type into the browser address bar, thats the www thingy at the top.

ftp://ftp.so4x4.com/

now it will ask you for a username and password.
username is so4x4@so4x4.com
password is so4x4

when you log in youll see a page with folders. i suggest you upload everything into a folder and not onto that main page to avoid congestion.

once you have your pictures uploaded you will need to find them. simply copying the address the pcture is in will not work, so instead you have to go here

http://www.so4x4.com/so4x4/

and from there all of the folders are shown. assuming yo didnt screw up, your pictures will be in the folder you made.

hopefully this was basic enough for all of rednecks on here to understand, and if they didnt, well i cant type any slower for you so at the next meet ill draw you pictures with crayons Smile

on a side note, id prefer this server to be used for offroad and club files. so please try to refrain from hosting personal pictures on here, unless of course its of your wife and we all agree that we want to see her personal pictures, in which case post away.
guess what im saying is mudbug, please dont put your scary porn on here Smile

also i monitor the server quite closely and i can see who has uploaded each and every file, and compare the ip address to the one yo uuse on here, so trying to be a funny guy will get a time out in batemans basement lol

enjoy
