Software => HFS ~ HTTP File Server => Topic started by: Tsaukpaetra on January 30, 2007, 08:53:48 PM

I am attempting to use HFS as my remote file server for disks images using httpdisk (http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/ Scroll to the bottom) and it almost works perfectly!!!
... Except I cannot write back data, only download. This is fine for CD's (.iso) but what if I wanted a write-able disk?
I am trying to decode the upload routine but to no avail. It seems to use a <form> submission, but httpdisk apparently uses direct http access instead.
How can I achieve this functionality?

Oh!.
ps. When I try to write to the disk, it reports as write-protected, even though it is recognized as a (virtual) hard disk.

i guess you just cannot write on the CD.
if you want it to be writable, copy all the CD content to your hard disk, and use that.

It's not supposed to be a cd, but an image for a hard drive. (like the virtual disks in Microsoft's Virtual PC)
Besides, copying it to the hard drive is the opposite of what I want:
I want to be able to map a drive with read and write permissions to another computer over the internet.
I have done this using VPN and the inborn Windows file sharing, but that seemed to crash my computer (a lot) and it completely disabled which ever server was vpn'ing to the host to only respond to that one computer, wshich again, had the opposite of the intended effect.
I guess this setup may not work correctly for me.
..
.. An idea just popped into my head!
Maybe I could just make an iso cd-image and use a batch script to re-create it whenever a new file was detected in a folder!
More coming soon...

i guess this httpdisk offers only reading, not writing.
nice piece of software anyway.
i'm not sure, but maybe webdav is what you need.
