pa3ck Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hey! I would like to ask a question about 'httpdownloadurl'. I got some cars, skins and building textures and I don't want my server to be lagy, so I want to use an external FTP server for downloading them. My question is, will I need to upload all of my resources there? If I want to edit them, will I need to edit them on my FTP server? Thanks in advance! Link to comment
MIKI785 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 You can't use FTP but only HTTP... that is webserver like apache. Link to comment
pa3ck Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Ah! I misunderstood it... So I will only need to upload the downloadable content to my webserver... Thanks MIKI! Link to comment
MIKI785 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 What you can do is link the downloadurl to folder mods/deathmatch/resources-cache/http-client-files or something like that.. you won't then need to upload anything. Link to comment
pa3ck Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 All right. If I link it to that folder, would it affect my servers internet usage? ( not the web server, but the one that runs MTA ). Link to comment
MIKI785 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 No, how would it? You just link it there and the web server will access it. Link to comment
pa3ck Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Sounds pretty good... but the problem is I'm not that good at these things... How would I do that? I'm really sorry, for being such a noob... but you know... Link to comment
MIKI785 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 You need to know the basics of Linux to make the link or use mod_alias in apache2. If you don't know these things then don't use it... do you even have a VPS? Link to comment
pa3ck Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Okay, thanks for your help. 'If you don't know the basics, then don't use it'. Well, I got a better solution, look it up and learn it. Of course I have a VPS... Anyways, thanks for your quick answers bud! Link to comment
MIKI785 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 If you've got a VPS then that's ok. You should be able to make a link easily through SFTP client like WinSCP, i used it myself (not for this purpose but it's the same thing). Link to comment
