vinc718 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hi, This might have already been answered or might even be a stupid question, but its 2:45 am and I just kinda thought of it. Is it possible for my remote servers to download the GameFiles through an offsite ftp location. I own my own webserver, and I'd like to setup and ftp account where I will have all the gameservers files in rar format. Just like if I was to ftp into the GameFiles dir on the master server. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogie Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 There is an File Server option under System Settings (if you dont see it, then its time to upgrade...). It allows you to use any FTP server which supports PASV and has the same file structure as what is required normally by your master FTP or your Game Files Directory...

vinc718 Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Whats the purpose of the MASTER server? If I setup this ftp, and my remote servers copy the game files from this ftp. What does the master server do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 The master is the main webserver that stores all the user details and web interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogie Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 It doesn't necessarly have to be the webserver... Its the main server all the remotes and webserver communicate with. It is the "heart" of the system. You can also make any "remote" a "master ftp" server by checking that little box... You can run your web interface on a diff box than the master server, but if your master server is down, nobody will be able to login to the database (atleast, that was before the direct DB connections that are now available per remote). Enough rambling from me now. Time to go fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
