Mac ain't workin'. How do you run an FTP game?

[Argitoth]

Woah woah woah! I'm done using the mac, djo! Another thing: I don't want to have my computer on (and we're talking PC here) thus having an FTP directly to my game folder would not be possible since my computer wouldn't be on all the time.

I had in mind something like using my webspace provider, using an FTP on my website.

The more I think about it, the more I see that FTP is a bad idea because of the fact that people could mess up the turn files like you said.

For every expert that tells you that leaving the PC on will shorten it's life, you can find one that will tell you that the heat & cool of starts & stops will shorten it's life. Personally, I prefer to leave my PC on and just turn off my monitor. My PC is now old & severely obsolete but still runs great.

Ok Ballbarian, the other problem is that the computer is where I sleep and I am tired of having to hear the powersupply fan.

all night.

Edit: Moving the computer is not an option.

Get hosting on Gandalf Parker's linux server. If you already configured the game from the command line, it's the same.

ok, should I PM him?

Although there are several players that play on Macs, I don't specifically know of anyone who has used one for a server. Perhaps the server is buggy in the Mac version, and you are just the first one to find out.
