Cluster UPLOAD Facility

Upload

• go to: http://damiana2.aei.mpg.de/~ulservice/

In order to access the upload page you need special login data, which can be asked at the support office

Once you entered you will be prompted to select the file you want to upload and with Submit Query you initiate the upload. If you want to change the file to upload just press Reset and start over again.

Link

After the successful upload of the file you will get redirected to an information page. It provides you with a link to the file which now can be accessed from anywhere in the world. The URL is a bit cryptic, but with this we hope to avoid that the link to a file gets guessed easily.

Precautions

• This is not a high availability facility. So do not rely on the availability of the files and always keep a backup.
• Be aware of the fact that save for the cryptic URL there is no further protection of the file. But it seems rather unlikely that somebody guesses this URL.
• If necessary upload gpg or similar encrypted data

Webserver lonely & poor HTTPD

lophttpd was written by Sebastian Krahmer to demonstrate that it is possible to have a webserver running in a single thread and handling multiple connections at the same time. The amount of connections is only limited by the maximum number of open files per process (65k) and by your CPU/network speed.
