Joyent is please to announce that we have partnered with Magnetk to bring our common customers the power of SftpDrive and Strongspace. Strongspace customers can buy SftpDrive for the discounted price of $24 (rather than $39). And when people buy SftpDrive, they get a 3gb Strongspace account for free. Yeah, free.
SftpDrive allows customers to map an SSH server as a Windows drive letter.
Strongspace is the premiere SSH server with multi-user capability for sharing and backing up files. We think Strongspace+SftpDrive make a winning combination. (Note: Macintosh version of SftpDrive coming in early 2007.)

Here’s the new public ssh fingerprints:
RSA: 22:40:2d:0b:e9:69:ec:d6:74:39:f3:71:7b:cc:95:19
DSA: 6d:50:b4:8f:47:b8:6e:48:56:70:6c:f3:6f:ec:da:b0
And you may need to delete the yoursubdomain.strongspace.com from your .ssh/known_hosts if you get an error about host key changes.

Starting in November, when you buy any core service from Joyent (whether its web hosting, Strongspace, or applications), we will bundle the other core services at no additional cost. For example, if you buy a $15/month web hosting account from our TextDrive service, you will also get the same tiers of service from Strongspace and our Applications. I’ll say it another way: $15 per month gets you web hosting (5gb, 5 databases, 5 domains, 5gb of bandwidth), online storage (5 users and 5gb), and email, calendar, address book, files and all the other applications in the pipeline (5 users and 5gb). The same will be true for our $50 and $100 per month tiers (with higher database, domain, bandwidth, user and storage allocations).
Services such as Bingo, Jill’s Team (coming in November), Containers, Container Storage and Scale will continue to be either add-ons to Joyent’s Core or stand-along offerings.
If you are an existing customer of a Joyent Core product, you will be receiving an email from us in the coming days explaining this upgrade and what it means for you at your current service level.
I want to thank all of you for your loyalty to Joyent.
Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks
A good place to find tips, tricks and other info about Strongspace is our forums. Forum member “jdueck” has written a nice little guide on creating a PGP encrypted image for those files who may contain truly sensitive data, stored either locally or on Strongspace. While the guide is aimed at windows, the PGP product (and the alternatives) are available for other platforms, such as osx, as well.
We do of course take great pride in keeping Strongspace secure, after all, strong is part of our name, but there might be cases where you want that extra bit of “unreadability” that encryption can give you.

We’re going to switch a few things around over the next few hours (06:30–08:30 GMT), during which there may be a few small blips of downtime or strange behaviour in the Strongspace web interface.
If this goes to plan (there’s always an “if”), file uploads and downloads will be much more reliable and probably faster.
SFTP and rsync access should not be affected during this time.
update
We’re going to do a bit of this again I’m afraid, so expect a few blips over the next hour.
update 17:57GMT
And we are now back to feeling happy about things around here. Particular fileuploads should once again be back to being more reliable. Thank you for your patience.
