I'm a satisfied customer :) It's not as out-of-the-box as dropbox etc. because you have to get used to concepts like "the url is the key", each file or folder has different urls for read/write and read-only access, etc. You also need to avoid leaking refer[r]ers (best is to install a browser extension like refControl<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/refcontrol/>) in case you accidentally access a read/write url of an html page that has external img/script/css (best practice is to try to avoid such references). If you also want public web interface, you'll need to install a lafs-rpg<https://bitbucket.org/nejucomo/lafs-rpg>gateway (to avoid operator-cost attacks and leaking URLs to logs, etc.) and it should be behind SSL (because you shouldn't leak URLs).
Once you get it going, it's a very powerful tool. You can keep something private, and the minute you want - you can either privately send folder/file's read-only URL to a friend/customer/etc., or publish it to the world (you can simply use an external url shortener<http://is.gd/palecon>for that). Bonus: If you set up a dead-man switch that tweets the right URL, you can live forever ;) On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 1:40 AM, Steve Weis <[email protected]> wrote: > Just wanted to add that Least Authority offers Tahoe-on-S3 as a commercial > service for $1/GB/month: > https://leastauthority.com/ > > > > On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 9:08 AM, Leigh Honeywell <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Try https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs - I think it's precisely >> what you're looking for.
