Re: [H] Hosting ...windows to Linux
As you know, ftp is for moving files. You should be able to use the web to access your provider, login and use some kind of manager. cPanel is the most common for Linux hosting. Move your files up one level. What do you have to lose? You need one file with the name of index.html Al On Sat, Jul 25, 2020 at 8:04 PM _ Winterlight wrote: > I ftp into my hosting account site.

Thanks, that gives me a place to start. At one time I had a TP-LINK TL-R470T Load Balance Router. My Suddenlink Gateway is so locked down I can't set it bridge mode. Tried to replace it with my own gateway but never could get it to work. Dealing with SuddenLink on the phone sucks, I don't yet know what equipment I'm getting with ATT. Thanks again.

Re: [H] Router >>Switch
I think you'll need to reinstall some of the apps. I'm guessing if you restore a backup of the way it is now, (an image type backup) the restore is going to choke because the external card isn't there any more. I'd try to move personal files (pics, movies) to the PC, (or backup of your choice) to make more room. Then move the apps from the external card to internal memory, then try a backup. Good luck and please let us know how it goes. Al On Sun, Sep 1, 2019 at 7:13 PM Winterlight wrote: > > I haven't tried it yet.

[H] Running sysprep on dual boot tablet.
I bought this tablet. http://preview.tinyurl.com/ybrzuqal The screen is very dark, clear and sharp; but dark. It’s the one on the left, next to a Nexus 10 streaming the same vid from Netflix. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/924/kuHQfB.jpg I’m returning it, and I’d like to run sysprep in the win 10 partition.

Re: [H] Android Tablet Recommendation
The Nexus 10 has screen issues after playing movies for a couple of hours. The bottom of the screen would pixilate, freeze, turn odd colors. I got a refund from the seller and was told to not bother returning it. It does much better with a small fan running behind it; 12V case fan running on 5V, very quiet. Bought a Certified Refurbished Nexus 10 off Amazon, same problem right out of the box. Sent it back, got refund. So I have the original Nexus I bought to play with for free. Been flashing all the latest ROMs. Netflix app will not run on anything but stock ROMs; tried all the workarounds, but no joy.

Re: [H] Free new years gift for HWG!
Before doing an OS install, I used to put a couple of gigs of stuff on a drive. Then after the install, and letting the OS work for a short while, I'd remove the filler stuff, and defrag would have all that space to move the files into. Back in the 98se days, when the OS would keep track of which files were used most. Don't know how effective it was, but it seemed to do well. -- Al xtemp...@comcast.net

Hi y'all, Just gained access to a hugh collection of VCR tapes, old rental store inventory. Great stuff from Cinderella to Debbie Does Dallas. Been reading online about copying to DVD, seems I need some hardware. Any recommendations? Anyone have something in the back of the closet to recycle? Gladly pay any reasonable amount + shipping. There's a hugh pile of tapes, so something I can use with little input from me would be preferred. TIA, al -- Al xtemp...@comcast.net
