I am a paying aol member and have been for 10+ years. My business relies on thousands of photos I have posted to my ftp Space. Does this apply to paying subscribers of this essential service? If so, can anyone advise as to whether there is an efficient way to transfer and preserve these files [it would take days to do them on a file-by-file basis? Anyone thinking class action?
Dear rduffy8888
I stopped paying sometime ago. I do not know if you will be affected. I got that email. If you haven't got one, maybe you shouldn't worry, but it doesn't hurt to contact AOL.
Hi Rduffy, while not many companies are still supporting FTP service, I think you can try DriveHQ FTP service(http://www.drivehq.com/ftp/). I have used their service, works great.
