Yes, he did have some rather emotional comments on the subject, but what
does that have to do with this specifically?
Take care,

Richard Stallman had a few things to write about concerning cloud
computing and given the adverse security environment the internet has
become it probably would be wise for anyone with information
assurance/privacy interests to find his writing on clouds and read it
before going down that particular road.
His writing can be found on cnet.com under the title cloud computing is
stupidity.

I'm not so sure it does work. Do you have WinSCP or some other program
installed on that win xp image. Such applications will install
handlers
for
the protocol, but I don't think, in fact I'm possitive, that windows
does
not support sftp. It might support ftp with ssl or something, but I
doubt
even that. Sftp is ftp over an ssh connection.

I just did, and it works using Win XP Pro when entering
SFTP://ftp.server.com in the address bar. I used my domain login to
test
this out, and sftp is a supported login protocol. Appears to work
fine. I
can't vouch for other OS's though.

You could always use a server that supports secure FTP.

Yes, this wouldn't be recommended for sensitive data. However, you
still
have the choice to not include the login info, and simply enter

Only problem I see with this is security. If your on a linux
system,
ftp
accounts are usually tied to shells. You've just handed everyone
your
shell login and password that may be listening on the wire.

Actually, there is a very simple way to do this without requiring
an
outside service. This method makes it possible to access any FTP
server
in the same manner. You just need to make sure that your login
has
the
right permissions to modify files on the remote server.
For instance, I have a ReadyNAS Duo at home, configured as an FTP
service. I use www.dyndns.org to update my dynamic ip
automatically.
So
when I want to point to my server, I can use a link like the
following
ftp://Username:Password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/MyFTPEnabledFolderName
So, with such a link, which will work on any FTP service, such as
those
provided by remote services like Bizland.com, or any other as
well,
you
can do the following to enable one click access:
1. Go into your Windows folder at
c:\windows
2. Right-click the file "Explorer.exe",
open Send to,
and choose "Desktop (create shortcut)".
3. Now rename this to whatever you want, like "Personal Library"
or
whatever.
4. Now open the properties for the link, where you will see the
following for the Target field
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe
5. Now, within quotes, add the url to your FTP service at the end
of
this string, with a space separating the two values like so.
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe
"ftp://Username:Password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/MyFTPEnabledFolderNam
e"
6. Click OK, and that should do the trick.
You can now have Windows Explorer access to any FTP site using
this
method, from anywhere in the world. And if you have your own
server
like
mine, using a ReadyNAS or similare unit, you can have unlimited
storage,
such as 2 to 4 TB. The only draw back, is that it won't work in
My
Computer. Still though, it's free, and you can attach a hotkey to
the
shortcut.

Subject: Zumo Drive
Good afternoon everyone,
Some of you on certain lists probably heard me saying, "I'm
putting
my
files in the clouds." I'm doing this via a neat service I heard
about
on a
Web 2.0 Podcast. The service is called "Zumo Drive." It's a
hybrid
cloud
storage application that permits you to store files remotely so
they'll
be
available from any computer you use. Unlike other types of
remote
storage
solutions Zumo Drive integrates with your PC and is accessed via
My
Computer. Those of you that use external drives know that it
appears
as
an
additional drive whenever you enter My Computer or Windows
Explorer.
Think of Zumo drive as an auxiliary drive without the
physical
hardware.
Instead of your files being stored on a physical drive they're
stored
on a
secure remote server which can be accessed from multiple
computers
and
mobile phones. This is achieved by downloading and installing
the
Zumo
Drive
Application which you can obtain from their Web Site. Both the
Zumo
Drive
Web Site and the application are accessible and very easy to
use;
particularly because it appears as an additional drive on your
computer. I
believe this is what's commonly called a virtual drive. The only
accessibility glitch I encountered was when I needed to register
my
copy
with their service. Using your screen reader's mouse cursor
should
allow you
to complete the registration on your own once the "Registration"
Icon
is
activated.
Once installed and your account is created Zumo Drive works
exactly
like
any other drive on your PC. It's possible to store files locally
on
your
computer, or save them on your Zumo Drive from within any
application;
although larger files may take longer to save due to their
having to
be
transferred to the remote server. It's also possible to save a
file
obtained
from another Internet location directly to your Zumo Drive. I
did
this
this
morning and think it's pretty cool.
Depending on their type the files saved remotely will be
downloaded
and
open in the application or in the case of audio and video
content
will
stream to your PC. For example I was able to listen to a podcast
on
Virtual
Colonoscopy on Mary's computer though the file does not reside
on
her
machine. It was a simple matter of opening up QuickTime, and
typing
Z:\path\filename. The file opened and the documentary began
playing
exactly
as it would if stored on the local machine.
Upon creating your Zumo Drive Account you receive 1 GB of
storage
space
to allow you to try the system out. There are several
subscription
plans you
can purchass depending on the amount of remote storage you
require.
But
enough from me. For additional information visit:
http://www.zumodrive.com
Since file storage is always an important concern I wanted to
share
this
information with everyone. All the best for a great weekend.
