best way to create cloud storage with a VPS.
what is the best way to create a storage cloud using a VPS?
I mean something easy to access from phones or desktops.
Samba? What else?

Something like Amazon S3?
Something like Dropbox?
Just a remote filesystem like NFS, Samba, or SSHFS?
If you want to access it a Linux computer, any remote filesystem would work. Things get more complicated on Windows PCs. And if you want to access it from a phone, you will probably need to build an HTTP frontend or a full-blown app.
I would like to know if there is someone here using the VPS as a "cloud storage" for mobiles and what is the way they choosed.
I can't remember the client I used, but it was pretty easy to find one when I last found myself in need.
WebDAV is pretty basic in most implementations, but for simple shifting files around its perfectly adequate.
ownCloud
@advocatux:
Maybe you'll want to try
. ownCloud
this seems very cool. I will give it a try. thanks.
if you have more suggestions is also appreciated.
I noticed that Astro File Manager for Android supports SFTP very well, I will use SFTP for my cloud storage.
Ehm, linode, when will you give us some more space?
