 == Advanced: The Web Method ==
-To download big files, if you feel brave and know what you're doing, open an SSH session to the webserver and copy the file into your home directory (theoretically you could symlink, I never got it working though). If you copy it to the www folder (you may need to create it) then if you go to http://ystv.co.uk/~firstname.lastname you will see the files ready to download.
+To download big files without writing changes back to them, you can place them in your personal web directory. See [[Computing:Add a file to user space on YSTV website|Add a file to user space on YSTV website]] for information.
