There are several ways to insert an EA or Robot into a Forex VPS. Below I will explain several ways, choose the most appropriate and most practical method in your opinion.
By using DropBox.
Dropbox is a file sharing application. After you install Dropbox, Dropbox will create a special folder on your computer. All files that you put in this folder will be easily shared, or you can also easily create a download link for files in your Dropbox folder, by right clicking on the file then selecting “Share Dropbox Link“. That way, you will get a download link for the file. After that, you can copy the link to your Forex VPS so you can click and download your EA or Forex Robot from the VPS.
By copying and pasting from PC to VPS.
If your VPS uses Windows 7 OS then you can directly copy and paste from your PC or Laptop to the VPS. Meanwhile, if your Forex VPS OS is Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 then you need additional settings which are actually very easy. You have to be a little patient if you use this method because the file transfer will be slower. Don’t blame your PC’s internet connection or VPS internet connection if the transfer takes longer because the file transfer system using this method is slightly slower than other methods. Please follow the instructions in the following image:
Sharing HDD or Partition to VPS.
As in the example above, you share a hard disk or drive with a VPS. So, in this way you can understand that you will be able to open your HDD or HDD partition from the VPS. You can open files on the HDD or copy them from the VPS. But remember, this method will also take longer if your internet connection to the VPS is not fast or unstable.
You can also use a file dropper.
This method is very easy. Please go to the website www.filedropper.com and then you will find a button to upload files. After that you will get a download link to the file. Then you can download your files from the VPS. This method is easy but with less security. Why is it less safe? Because anyone will be able to download the file you upload if they know the download link. But if they don’t know the link, they won’t be able to download it. If you use this method, you should first change the EA name to another name to deceive them.
By using the teamviewer applications.
File transfers this way will be faster than methods number 2 and number 3 above. At least that’s from my experience. But if you want to use TeamViewer then you should pay attention to the RAM and processor usage of your VPS because it could result in a lot of RAM or processor being consumed by the application. Immediately turn off the TeamViewer application if you no longer need it. Make sure that the application is completely turned off because otherwise it will slow down the VPS. I recommend that you only use TeamViewer only if your VPS has >1GB RAM so that the performance of MT4 on your VPS is not compromised.
Conclusion
If you want to make Forex one of your livelihoods then you should plan the supporting things better. Don’t just choose supporting things in terms of temporary practicality but think about the long term. So I suggest, the best thing for traders is to have an account and a Dropbox application. This application is free, not paid and provides long-term convenience. Your data will be safer, file transfers easier. If your Forex VPS has a problem, your files will still be safe because all your important EAs, EA Settings, Indicators, Scripts are stored in the dropbox, not on the VPS.
