Title: FTP to Ibay not working
Post by: edb on April 23, 2005, 01:41:10 AM

I need to FTP to my Ibay but only from the local network side. I need to run an ftp script to both put and get files.
Anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks

Ps I already know about WinSCP. I want command line.

edb,

Given you have allowed FTP service on the LAN side in server manager, you can access ibays from IE or the command line in XP.

You have to login as follows:

IE:

ftp://smeuser@smedomain.com
you will be prompted for password for smeuser

XP command line:

ftp smedomain.com  (or  netbios name)
ftp will ask for user/password
type ? for commands

read/write access will depend on your group and user security for each ibay.

hope this helps.   ryan

Forgot...with command line, doing a "cd /" then "dir" should show ibays folder...not sure if IE can do this, but using regular gui ftp client like firefox ftp allows you to go up one directory which technically is /home/esmith/files...I use firefox instead of IE...

have fun.

Ok, I tried it but it is not what I'm looking for.

That would bring me to the users ftp directory and that's not what I want.

I have created an Ibay called store which is where I have placed my ecommerce site.

I now want to be able to access the ftp portion of the store ibay.
It doesn't seem to matter what I do I just cannot access it via ftp yet when the Ibay is created it creates the normal (cgi, files & html) structure.

The html part works fine. I hope this better defines what I'm looking for. Thanks again

It works fine from XP command line to my SME server.  After loggin in with user/password, I issue:

cd /  
dir    >notice ibays folder
cd ibays    
dir  >should see your ibays
cd yourdesiredibay
cd files
dir  >the content of the files directory of the ibay


Note:  directory & file names are case sensitive, so type them exactly as shown by dir command.

good luck....ryan

ftp-chroot from dungog did the trick for me.
