Wrathek Posted October 26, 2009 Content Count: 1839 Joined: 09/28/08 Status: Offline Share Posted October 26, 2009 he meant "access to" FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, and he meant he could let him upload the files to the server and d/l them later. (http is for websites, ftp is used for files) although this is disingenuous because FTP is used to manage a remote HTTP server (by uploading http files rofl) Link to comment

Gundude54 Posted October 26, 2009 Content Count: 232 Joined: 07/07/09 Status: Offline Share Posted October 26, 2009 So I want to reformat my computer but I've got many text files, and open office files to save somewhere to not have them removed. I'd appreciate if anyone had any idea of where I could put them to keep them saved and get them back after formatting? Use a flash drive. Put all you files you want to keep in the flash drive then reformat the computer. Then put all your files back Link to comment

Then put all your files back i mean i know he said documents specifically, but if i had a flash drive big enough for the stuff i backup pre-format.. damn. (they DO sell them that large, but for prices so outrageous i'd rather waste my cash on a velociraptor drive tbh) Link to comment
