music7611 Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 Are there any free hosting services that allow you to run .Net programs on their servers? Quote

Jay1b Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 .net programs? or ASP.net if you mean ASP.NET - then Brinkster is great True, but the free Brinkster service doesnt (or at least didnt) support FTP, which can be a bugger if your uploading 30/40 files. I am going to subsribe to Brinkster though. Quote
music7611 Posted August 12, 2004 Author Posted August 12, 2004 (edited) .net programs? or ASP.net if you mean ASP.NET - then Brinkster is great I mean acctually run my programs (.EXE) on there servers. Edited August 12, 2004 by music7611 Quote
Arch4ngel Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 is this a question or.... running .EXE on their is server is probably prohibited. (don't know) But running ASP.NET application... well... look at Brinkster Quote "If someone say : "Die mortal !"... don't stay to see if he isn't." - Unknown "Learning to program is like going out with a new girl friend. There's always something that wasn't mentioned in the documentation..." - Me "A drunk girl is like an animal... it scream at everything like a cat and roll in the grass like a dog." - Me after seeing my girlfriend drunk and some of her drunk friend.

music7611 Posted August 12, 2004 Author Posted August 12, 2004 At brinster, they don't let you. And I guess there probably isn't a company that will do that. But is there someway to make your own computer a server? Quote
ThePentiumGuy Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 IIS I think is what you're looking for. (I'm only 50% sure. You'd need XP Pro or Windows 2000 Server though)] edit: Oh by the way - IIS isn't very safe. Everyone will access your computer and such. Leave your firewall turned on at all times to be safe, and get a fast connection :).

music7611 Posted August 13, 2004 Author Posted August 13, 2004 I just have Windows XP Home and no firewall, but I guess that's the best I could hope for. I'll wait until this computer breaks and I can reinstall the operating system before I experiment with internet networking. Quote
Denaes Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 XP, I believe, has a built in firewall. Any "Pro" has IIS. if you have XP Pro or 2000 Pro, there is a 'hack' you can do to trick XP Home into using it. You need to google for "xp home IIS" or something like that. I had my xp home system running as a lite server for a while to test some things out. What would you want to do that you would want to run a windows form project from over the internet? You can't actually RUN the program on your computer. If you typed in your browser www.sitename.com/progs/myApp.exe it would attempt to run the app on the browsers computer which would fail about 9999/10000 times. You'd have to have .net on your own computer (the browser/user) and have to do some serious administration work to tell it that X build of X program is okay to run like this, over the network/internet/intranet. Now when you rebuild it, you have to change this setting each time telling it the new build/app code, which is generated uniquely each time you build. You can do this on any website from yahoo to brinkster to tripod. To the server, it's just downloading/uploading a file. To actually RUN it on the server, you need a script or something on ther server side to tell it to run. Like an ASP.Net app starting the apps proccess, or something else (I dunno, asp, perl, javascript). Now I'm sure a professional server worth their salt has a lockdown on this really happening, or on their permissions. I can see it working with ASP.Net to a degree because ASP.Net uses .dll's and they're technically executables from what I gather. Quote
neodammer Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 Apache will let you run things..too bad not VB.net things :( I doubt anybody will let you run .exe's on their server unless its a personal friends or something lol Quote Enzin Research and Development
