Topic: Newbie -> how do I upload my website

[pr2030]

I've been reading up on i-bays and think that I've worked out that the default web site should be in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html

What I can't work out is how I upload my web site to this location.  Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks for listening...

I use SSH. I can suggest an excellent free client for the Windows OS:

http://www.ssh.com/support/downloads/

get SSH Secure Shell for Workstations, the non-commercial 3.2 version near the bottom right.

You can find an SSH client for any OS.

Logging on is not the problem - I can't work out how I'm supposed to FTP into the Primart ibay.

Hoping someone can help.

Cheers,
Richard

Is the server on your local network? If so, just copy the files onto the Primary bay Samba share. You will need to log on as 'admin' to see the Primary share, but once you do, uploading is a copy/paste mouse click away (for Windows, OS-X and Linux).

For a windows clien install winscp you will never look back.

Thanks to everyone - worked a treat.

Next question, how do I remove the link to the starter website to stop people inadvertently overwriting the default web page?

Thanks for listening.

I've been working on this myself for quite a while

ftp local is simple enough: firefox or IE will work:
ftp://admin:password@yourdomain.com

Remotely I've had some trouble but essentially the same

For IE you may need to set the internet options section/advanced tab/scroll down to and select passive mode for ftp sites

And login to your primary as described above and navigate to your ibay/Primary folder you should see your cgi-bin,files,html etc.

Firefox will not remove or add folders to my knowledge via ftp, however IE should work fine and you can set permission on your folders via right click to properties etc.

As far as disabling the start page link, I"m assuming your talking about in the server-manager etc.

Good question, are you planning on letting others login to the SME other then you, I"M guessing yes to that as well

I wish I could be more help on that topic, sounds like someone will have to give you console directions on that one.

Assuming there is nothing in the documentation on this topic

I hope this helps

I use ssh to copy to the server, and edit files on th server, not just to log on...
