Title: Need a host service for the campgrounds interactive map
Post by: mpullen on August 14, 2012, 05:06:24 PM
Photobucket will only allow posting JPG images. The campgrounds is a PDF over 5M in size.

Does anyone have a hosting service to post the file and send the link here? If so, I'll email the PDF file.

I chose PDF, as the presentation was built with PowerPoint, but not everyone uses it.

I do not mind hosting the file for you if needed.  Just send me a PM and I will give you my info.

Always best to go with one of our own.  But if that doesn't pan out try Wuala.  http://www.wuala.com/

Just as a backup, I wonder if sites.google.com allows PDF files?  I know that my site has a fairly out-of-date KMZ file I created of Ren Faire and Celtic Festival locations - https://sites.google.com/site/dbaldock9/kmlfiles (https://sites.google.com/site/dbaldock9/kmlfiles)

Also, does Google Docs - docs.google.com - allow you to share PDF files?


Take Care,
David Baldock

Just to satisfy my curiosity, I uploaded a PDF file to Google Docs, and set the Sharing to "Anyone with the Link."

Can someone tell me if you can access this PDF of the RouterBoard RB-493G Manual?  https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BynZ-W8hWICKenM3OUxPeHpfTTg (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BynZ-W8hWICKenM3OUxPeHpfTTg)

Thanks,
David Baldock

It is requiring me to login.

Basicly, I have a hosting account that has plenty of room to share.  So I created a FTP account for Mike and set it to his own directory for uploads.  This way he can share files via a URL so folks can view his files in a web browser without having to login to a site, or have to put up with any adds.

That's interesting, since the line beside the box I checked says, "Anyone who has the link can access.  No sign-in required."

I guess Google doesn't pay attention to their own notices and directions.   ;)   :D


Thanks,
David B.

David - it allowed me to view your .pdf file without asking for a userID or password.  I didn't read the whole thing but it was a system board user manual.

Thats odd.  I just clicked on the link again and it let me view it without logging in as well.

Just sent the 5M PDF file to Glaodian, so that he can move it to the directory. Once there, I'll post the URL.
