Hi all, One of my clients has asked me to implement a Django site where they host the application side on their own Internet connection (low latency 2Mbit fibre pipe) while hosting the static content on their ISP's provided web space. Which is high speed (I tested it as likely having multiple 100Mbit connections OR a Gigabit pipe). Reason for this is 2 fold, 1 being that the total bandwidth allotment for their local pipe is limited to around 600GB/mo, 2 being that as I stated above, the web space is very high bandwidth and has a virtual unlimited allotment in bandwidth for them.
The problems I'm facing: A). The web space is only accessible trough FTP and HTTP, FTP being the only factor when talking uploads. B). They want the site to be transparent with the remote web space, so that if they upload files trough the website like in any normal fully local Django site, the content is immediately accessible. One possible solution is the following: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1269/ Which is a pluggable storage plug that transfers files over FTP on forms upload. But the author of the app states that this solution isn't viable for larger files since the uploaded files are stored in memory during transfer to FTP. The client of course needs large files to work. They have gigantic images that need to be uploaded and shared (think gigantic in terms of 16k x 9k TIFF's ...). If uploads happen one by one, do you think a 2GB ram server that has 1GB unused would be able to handle it in a stable fassion if the files stay under 1GB in size? Do you know any other way to do this other then to use the above snippet or setup a high refresh FTP sync schedule that would resync the files between local and FTP every 5 to 10 minutes? Also, isn't with an FTP sync the danger present that large files being uploaded get whacked by the server trying to upload it to the webspace at the same time? r/Jan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
