Author Topic: Band collaboration: Content Management System that allows uploading to my server... Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 04-07-2008 10:32 PM                        Hey everyone! I haven't been here in forever because I left the theatre industry for several reasons (the deciding factor being that I kept being shorted at least 10 hours every cheque). I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction... I'm looking for some kind of way to help collaboration between my bandmates and me (we're just finishing up our second album and are going to start number 3 very shortly.. Check our facebook page here: Casper Kennedy. Basically now, I write all of the music, then the masters (waves and multitrack session files for Adobe Audition) are passed around on DVD through the mail to everyone one by one and everyone adds their part. A little old fashioned but it works... sort of... What I want to do is add a passworded section to my website where the band memebers can take files, upload files (riffs, multitracks, etc.), leave comments, etc. Is there any kind of open source solution, or very LOW COST solution... I'm sure (hoping) there is...  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 04-07-2008 10:52 PM                     sftp sounds like it'd be perfect  |  IP: Logged Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 04-07-2008 11:00 PM                        A couple of other things... It looks like SFTP requires a program be installed on each computer... I'm looking (hopefully) for something that has a login screen and runs in the browser...  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-08-2008 12:05 AM                     You don't want to go through the browser, that will just slow things down. Just download WinSCP and then it is a simple drag and drop between the server and your individual computers. WinSCP is freeware and very easy to use.  |  IP: Logged Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 04-09-2008 04:47 PM                        Thanks Brad, I'll check it out... Can I restrict access to just one folder on the server?  |  IP: Logged
