How To Do Off Peak Uploads Scheduling?

[johanhorak]

Are you aware of a cloud storage facility (online) where I can keep a backup of my documents and a tool that will allow me to upload these files to the online storage facility scheduled for off peak bandwidth?

I am with Webafrica and they have cheap bandwidth after 12 at night. I want to use this bandwidth to dump a copy of my old laptop's hard drive to a place like Box.net for example.

There are ways you can do this with FTP (CuteFTP) but Box.net does not make FTP details available.

Do you know of any other possible way of doing this?

Dropbox, while expensive, has a facility to sync at certain times
? Not ideal, but could help you come up with other solutions?

You could use a service like http://www.1fichier.com/en/api/ftp.html and schedule your ftp.
Or you could use Amazon Web Services simple data storage, and schedule uploads with curl.

Thanks for that. They are expensive. But it's nice to know they can do the job. I have come across http://www.mimedia.com/ with seven gigs free and have emailed them to check if the can schedule. In the meantime it will be DropBox. Thanks

Thanks ozoned. I will check it out. And I will investigate how to use curl ;-)
