Title: FTP to /files section of ibay associated to sub.domain.com possible?
Post by: guest22 on October 07, 2007, 11:37:35 PM

Hi,

Using SME 7.2 latest updates.

Main domain: www.mydomain.com
Sub domain: test.mydomain.com
I-bay created: testbay
Domains added in 'domains' panel in server manager: 'test.mydomain.com'
Associated domain 'test.mydomain.com' with I-bay 'testbay'
DNS set to: '*.mydomain.com'

From a browser I can reach http://test.mydomain.com correctly (seeing html contect of /html of correct I-Bay)

However, I can not FTP into the /files section of 'ftp://test.mydomain.com', it goes to 'ftp://mydomain.com' and shows the content of the /files section of the primary domain opposed to the /files section of the /testbay' I-bay.

I expected to be able to FTP into the /files section of the testbay. Am I expecting too much of what are the inner workings of this pls?

Thanks,
guest

Quote from: Administration Manual

*  accessing an i-bay via the FTP server: To access the i-bay using FTP, you use your FTP client to connect to your server and use the i-bay name as the login id. If the i-bay requires a password, you will need to enter the i-bay password as well. If you are using a command-line or graphical FTP client, you will usually be prompted for the login username and password. If you are using a web browser, you will need to enter a FTP URL. This will be in one of the following forms, depending on whether or not a password is required:

Code: [Select]

ftp://ibayname@ftp.domainname
ftp://ibayname:password@ftp.domainname

Hmm, missed that while reading the manual. Thanks Trevor.

Yes, I didn't find it intuitive either   :-?

It would be nice to be consistent (may even look at what needs to be patched one day) ;-)
