we could always move the botf2.com domain to the main host, it would be free after all

Can you set up a way to at least share 3D models here?

You, and others, can upload ships I do not have.

I can do the scaling, orientation and 270x225.png as needed.

I think they offer the sharepoint software too (kind of a domain-name+software-bundle) on that host and it would not be possible to use that server software on another domain.

we could always use subversion for the models that way we could have a lot of people with the meshs held on their hd`s what do you think?

It would certainly have prevented that recent loss of data if local file repositories were kept auto-updated on all machines.

What is the current status of sharepoint, mike?

do they at least reply to any questions regarding their repair status of our site? I think it would be wise to download all stuff from sharepoint (though explorer view won't work I guess which means a lot of clicking...) and prepare to just kill the contract..

hm, still no reply? it has been more than two months now..

This video should explain what happened to the SharePoint.

ahahahaha! I should be more careful when clicking youtube links. Absolutely hilarious though.

And then this happens...

Wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. Totally wrong. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

mike, still no answer? It has been nearly half a year or what

this starts to become wasted money on your side..

alright. With mike's help, I found a pretty neat way to up- and download things on sharepoint (seemingly even without the formerly common lagging-out at files larger than 7mb ) and that's via normal Windows Explorer and drag&drop on a so-called net drive. It's much like explorer view but on a higher level so to speak. Makes complete backups a matter of one-click-only .

In order to do that just follow these steps:

-1. If you don't want to open a security hole each time you use the net drive and are already content with just a network link then skip step 0 from below, do step 1 and instead of going to step 2, do open Windows Explorer and type in \\www.botf2.com\DavWWWRoot in the address line (not the Internet Explorer, the normal one), then enter PUBLIC36\<name> and password when twice prompted and there you got your server under my network places. There you got the botf2.com server as a network computer like in local LAN and can move or copy files on and from it.
0. Create DWORD value UseBasicAuth in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\WebClient\Parameters and set it to 1 but be aware to set it to 0 each time you finished working with the net drive cause it opens a security hole when you set it to 1
1. Start WebClient service in Windows
2. open command line. type in net use * http://www.botf2.com/DavWWWRoot /persistent:no (persistent:no means the drive will be unmounted when you shut down computer, if you want to. if you want to keep the drive always mounted, leave it out). when prompted type in as user name: PUBLIC36\<name> (case-sensitive, Public must be completely in capital letters) and password as usual. If you're a friend of dialogs, windows explorer also has a "connect to network drive" entry in the options menu where you can enter all these things. It's a little more tricky though but if you managed to do it you could do it over that dialog too each time.

After that the complete server (be careful with it will ya, don't format z: ) is located at a z:\ drive in normal Windows Explorer which enables you to do the same things with it that you can do with your other regular (hard)drives in Windows Explorer. With net use z: /d you can unmount the drive manually.

When doing a full backup and copying out stuff you should manually deselect the forms folder since there are read-protected files in it which cause the copying to stop.
