File Storage Solution

File storage on biscu.com is very simple. Just upload the file(s) to our servers using our file manager, ftp server or email the file to us. You can share the file with one or more sub-accounts with access rights you specify or you can (optionally) share the file with the public using its biscu.com URL. Biscu.com offers free file storage for up to seven days.

File Upload via our File Manager

Sign in to your account and navigate to the folder you want the file saved to. Click the "Upload files to the current folder" button on the toolbar to open the file upload center. The file upload center allows up to ten files to be uploaded at once. Select the files from your computer you want to upload using the form and click the "Start uploading the selected files" button on the toolbar to start the transfer. The files will be saved to your account instantly.

File Upload via our FTP Server

Using your FTP client, connect to our FTP server at ftp.biscu.com:21. Sign in with your biscu.com user name and password. Send each file to the appropriate folder using the file upload facility of your client. Binary transmission is recommended for most files. The files will be saved to your account instantly. If you’re not sure how to use an FTP site, try using your web browser to open our FTP server as a URL. Most modern web browsers will support file upload to FTP servers. If your web browser does not support FTP uploads you can also use the "FTP" command line application which is included in most versions of Microsoft Windows. This application may be difficult for novice users to use however.

You can also acquire an FTP client as a free download. WS_FTP and FileZilla are two excellent FTP clients. FileZilla is fully functional, open source freeware and is highly recommended. Download FileZilla at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/filezilla/FileZilla_2_2_4c_setup.exe?download.

File Upload via E-Mail

Using your E-Mail client, create a new E-Mail message with your account user name in the subject line and attach the files you want to upload as attachments. Send the email to biscu.com. A new folder will be created for you called "Inbox" if it doesn’t already exist, and the files will be saved there when our servers receive your E-Mail.

File Storage Capabilities

Evaluation accounts are limited to 10 megabytes of file storage space. Files can be copied, moved, renamed, shared, viewed and deleted. Uploading a file which already exists (has the same name) will overwrite the original file. Sub accounts can be created so that your main account’s password does not need to be shared with other people. Sub accounts have their own password, have restricted access to shares on the main account and are administered by the main account’s owner. Quotas can be imposed on file storage space for sub-accounts. For example, you can create three sub-accounts which each have access to 2 megabytes of the main accounts available space.
