Long Distance Sessions

zenkonami · 26th May 2006

Can anyone suggest an effective way of transfering large sessions online between myself and my clients online? I know Digi has the Digidelivery system, but not everyone is using Pro Tools. Also, I'm at a pretty early stage in the game professionally and can't afford to set up my own server. When dealing with folders that range anywhere from 100 MB to 4 GB, can anyone suggest an online service that does this fairly inexpensively or give me an idea where to start looking? Much appreciated in advance, and I shall continue to research on my end!

Might be cheaper than you expect. Pick up an old G4, should be about 100 USD.
Install OS X Client start the FTP service and you're good to go.

This app helps you manage accounts easier (IMO) than creating unique users in OS X.

Ok, you proably need some kind of fundamental understanding bout the operating system. If you're a Win guy I'm sure someone else around here could point you in
the right direction re: hardware / software

The DigiDelivery server is not only for "Pro Tools" files. You can send anything. I have clients sending me 4GB movie files that were done in FCP.

Per month charge. Haven;t used it in a while, but remember thinking it wasn't expensive.

Thanks for some early ideas. I am a Win-user, but I'm trying to transition over to Mac (I use Macs at the studio I work at, but not at home for my own independent work.) I didn't realize it was that easy to set up an FTP server on a Mac, though.

Also, I didn't realize how versatile digidelivery is...though I also failed to note the price! But it's good information either way.

Thanks!
