Topic: Looking For FTP

Firstly seperate matters as there are multiple issues running here.

Webshare has nothing to do with ftp and the remoteaccess rpm, it's a totally seperate program, and should work OK if you configure users and passwords in the webshare server manager panel. Access via
https://yourdomain/webshare/websharename

It also has a very easy to use web GUI.

That may be sufficient for your needs ie create a web share for every user who wants to upload & downlaod, but you will have to manage these users seperately to (in the webshare panel) the sme user accounts.

So, will webshare do what you want without needing to use ftp ?
Webshare is secure, ftp is not.

I put https://66.26.84.173/webshare/brillftp
Is this Correct?

[cvlcc]

I got this:
The connection has timed out

The server at 66.26.84.173 is taking too long to respond.

    *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
          moments.

    *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
          connection.

    *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

You tell me, does it open a webshare login ?
Try using a domain name.

No, keep the answers here for all to see.

Use a domain type URL to access webshare (like it says in the panel) rather than a IP and tell us what happens rather than telling us nothing.

I think you need to sort out your server, domain & dns records before trying to access applications.

I found the problem it was the Wrong Ip address it should have been 66.126.84.173
It works now the browser FTP

Now how would I back up information automaticlly from a computer in the middle the night Via This FTP system? With SmartFTP I can Automaticlly by date, time, the fills or folders to where I want.

Where is this file because I did not find it in Ibays or users?

Webshare is not a ftp system, it is a http web based GUI file manager system usually accessed by individuals rather than by automated programs. You may be able to create programming code to do what you want ??

The data for webshare is stored in subfolders under
/opt

I did ask if webshare will suit your needs, if not and you want auto upload etc using SmartFTP etc, then you need to sort out correct usage of ftp/sftp.

Search on ftp and sftp and include RayMitchell as author in your search, as how to do this has been answered a few times in detail by me already.
There are probably posts by others who have answered this too.

Everything I'm asking about is great for me and nothing is lost because I'm working on this FTP Server Now.

I have a Web Hosting server

But this week and next I will be working on another server for a client.
He wants a Linux server that he can run windows programs from connecting both in the office and from his home.

I told him that I might be able to get the dos programs to work from the server in his office, but not from his home only the backups he will have to download and run from his home computer. But the windows programs can only backups from the Linux server. I know that some windows programs can be run on Linux workstations. His workstations are Windows XP Pro in his office and I built them also. The new server is an Eserver Xseries330.

So everything I learn here I can include in what I'm doing. I have found that this is the best server to learn on.  It's just a matter on finding someone to show me how to do things. Everything I know, I have by others and by doing. I just love challenges. I may be physically 90% disabled but I can still learn.

Don't really understand what all this fuss is about...

Created an ibay to use....
Did what it said under 'FTP' in the SME 7 manual.....
Allowed the FTP port (21?) on the router....

Up and whizzing away with nearly 50GB of MP3s accessible anywhere in the world now!!  With the right password, of course!

No Linux needed - and 15 minutes to get it up and running....
