[Nottingham] help Needed Urgently

Tue Sep 30 17:04:16 UTC 2014

Hello David,

Do you have a ftp server installed? First you need to make sure you have one. After installing it for most of the ftp servers the linux user is the ftp user. So essentially creating a linux user by useradd command must solve. However for some configurations of ftp server the ftp user are virtually created and stored in a database.

To be short 

1.       Install ftp server

2.       Configure it to use ftp user = linux user (default for most)

3.       Create a linux user by command useradd.

Let me know if you need help in checking if FTP server is installed! I can point to some tutorials.

PS: i don’t prefer cpanel but webmin with virtualmin as the control panel .

Thanks

AJ

You mean your VPS provider gives you no baked-in FTP server? I've mostly had to use horrid HTTP up/downloads.

Can't you simply install an FTP server into the image and use that? Even if its network is host-only, you should be able to port forward.

Sorry - I might not be following the exact nature of your problem.

David ... Easy way is to install sshfs on your Linux box. Then from you file manager in the address bar type sftp://<username>@<ipaddress> and you can mount the remote servers file structure on your local computer and copy and edit files as you please. I use it for all my servers .... makes like so easy.

David can you ssh to your server and what OS are you running on your computer not the server ?

Hi All,

I need some one to help me manage a virtual server. The technical support is more then
useless. So if there is anyone in the group with knowledge it will be greatly appreciated
and remunerated!

David

 Tom,

I am unable to create an ftp account - the technical help am getting is for a standard
cpanel that you find as a backend to any web site. My virtual server has a cpanel but one is
unable to create an ftp account. It's running  CENTOS 6.5 x86_64 kvm – 726905
WHM 11.44.1 (build 18) - and there is no ability to create and ftp account and the technical
help I'm getting all day is utter crap

David

Paul,

I'm running Linux - but after pissing about all day - and eventually telling then they were
all brain dead chimpanzees they are last got their act together - I'd still like help
because dealing with a virtual server is very different from basic web hosting.

I am a bit brain dead after 6 hours getting help!!!!

David
