You can upload files using anonymous ftp.
Address: os4depot.net
Username: ftp
Password: leave blank

Place files in the upload/ folder.

If you don't want to create your readme file manually then you can use the excellent Report+ application by James Jacobs. Just be sure to name the readme file properly before uploading (instructions below).

You must upload both the file and a readme file. Upload the readme file last or else you risk the server handling your file before it is fully uploaded!

The readme file must be named correctly and the main file must have a valid file type ending. The last dot of the filename is replaced by an underscore and .readme is added to the end.

Example file and readme file combinations:

myfile.lzx, myfile_lzx.readme
myfile.guide.txt, myfile.guide_txt.readme
myfile.avi, myfile_avi.readme
myfile.rx.rexx, myfile.rx_rexx.readme
myfile.tgz, myfile_tgz.readme
myfile.lha.zip, myfile.lha_zip.readme

Valid file types:

avi bz2 guide gz lha lzx mpeg mpg pdf rar rexx rx tar tgz txt zip

IMPORTANT: The contents of the readme file is validated automatically by the server. If it finds any errors then the file will be rejected and removed from the server. An explanation to the rejection will be posted here.

Files are moved automatically into the approval queue after 15 minutes.
Old non-manageable files are removed automatically after 14 days.

The readme file must contain two parts:
- A header section with keys and values, such as name, author etc.
- A section with the readme text.
The header section must end with "hend:" With no quotation marks. If you want to leave some comments to the moderators you can place them just above the "hend:" row.

You can find detailed information for each field here.

Example:

This must be a completely valid full path category. Abbrevations will not be accepted. Each part in the category path must be separated with a /.

replaces:
This field is REQUIRED if you are replacing an existing file. And it must be entered absolutely correct with no errors what so ever. Any errors will lead to that the file is automatically removed from the queue.
If a file with the same name and category already exists and there is no replaces field then the file will be removed automatically.
