sc0rpi0 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Why doesn't hacksaw use ftp instead of email to deliver the contents of usb drives? More space, faster, and more hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trustme Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Gmail: "Over 5782.718985 megabytes (and counting) of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message." Thats 5.6 gigs if I don't totally suck at math. http://yodel.yahoo.com/2007/03/27/yahoo-ma...ity-and-beyond/ Yahoo has unlimited email storage, let me know when you can find an ftp that offers more that unlimited... Just on the side, you really need to pay more attention to the Internet. Less secure = htacsess - how do you get the files there in the first place? I haven't done things through ftp in a while, but last I checked, to upload a file someone needs to have the login info. Which means you have to leave that info somewhere on the pc. For email, all you need is a 'to' address, you can send through a throwaway account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneE1se Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 you also forgot that gmail uses secure e-mail transfer ftp doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 FTP can be traced back to an IP, which can be traced back to the FTP server owner more easily than an email account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For email, all you need is a 'to' address, you can send through a throwaway account. I suppose you are right. Personally, I don't care about people's videos and pictures. So, I only filter out them leaving only textfiles and word documents. Usually 250 mb is enough for these. http://www.esmartstart.com/ Just my personal preference. Automatic ftp can be done with merely a .bat file and a .txt file. And yes, leaving the username and password is necessary. Really simple. Here is how it's done: [bATCH FILE] ftp -s:send.txt [TEXT FILE- called send.txt] open [ftp.yourserver.com] [username] [password] binary prompt n put "archive.rar" bye Still, I guess email *is* more secure and harder to trace.
