== == Here is my suggestion for you.

1.Please open up your cpanel and locate FTP accounts

# If you'd like to assign FTP access to a new user account, create the new user account now. # Locate the user name of the account to which you'd like to restrict FTP access, and enable FTP access for that account if you have not already done so. # Click the "Change Access Point" link in the right column next to that user name, under the "FTP Access Point" heading. # On the following page, you'll be able to create a new directory or select a current directory. Click the "Choose Directory" link next to the directory to which you want to limit this user account's FTP access. The user account now has access to the directory you specified and all of that directory's subdirectories. To reset FTP access for this account to the entire site, click the "Change Access Point" link next to its name again and choose the "Reset FTP access to entire site" link. Alternative method:

You can also choose "FTP Control Session" which allows you to monitor who's currently logged in to your FTP account , but not sure its available on major Cpanel.

Thanks,

How do you transfer programs by configuring FTP on one and client FTP on other or through a network device?

I am in South America, my son in England has set up an FTP site on his server and has given me the link to access the site. When I access the address link it opens up into a window which asks me for my username and password, which he has set up for me. Once I filled in the username and password it opens up into a folder on his server From this folder which is now open on my computer I can access any files, programs etc., which resides in the folder. I am also able to drop files, or programs in the folder for him to access. I didn't have to set up anything on my side, I have a DSL connection. This is a non-technical explanation. Hope it helps.

Where do you go in your computer to find your ftp?

FTP is used by servers, not personal computers. You can have a FTP on your personal computer, but you will need software and programs to do this. If you don't have the right programs then you don't have a FTP. There are some links on how to set up a FTP below. If your new to this you might want to use Windows XP to set up a server, and if your serious then use Windows Server 2003 or 2008. http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1491 | http://lifehacker.com/software/home-server/how-to-set-up-a-home-ftp-server-130806.php


What does FTP correspond to?

FTP is File Transfer Protocol. It is the protocol used on the internet when you upload files or download files. So for example, if you create a webpage and you want to upload it to your webspace, you need to use an FTP program. There are lots of good one out there. If you use Firefox, you can get an add-on called FireFTP. You would need to get the details of where to connect to in order to get access to your webspace. You will get those on your internet providers webspace. You then set the appropriate settings in the FTP program to enable the connection to be made.


What does ftp enable you to do?

FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, allows you to upload documents or files to an FTP server for sharing, remote access, or file transferring. You can either set up your own computer to be and FTP server or you can use a third party FTP hosting service. You will also want software that will work with the FTP server and your local host to easily transfer files. I recommend a couple different solutions for that. Classic FTP: This software is very functional and allows all the FTP commands you need, such as manual uploading, synchronizing, and viewing local and remote servers. Fling FTP: This is a totally new approach to FTP. It is very automated, which makes it really easy to back up files or upload any changes to the remote server. It is a innovation to FTP, without a doubt. You can also work on it manually too so really I suggest everyone try this software, as you aren't losing any functions, just gaining a ton.


I am a beginner programmer I have a side job where a person wants me to edit their website They gave me their server ip address and their username password combo. How do I connect to the server?

First clarify what service the username and password is for. It could be for various things. To edit just the content, you would need nothing but FTP access to the server. Your client could have also given you the username and password for the control panel. Since you are new, be very careful with it, since it is the control panel that handles everything to do with the site and the server as well, including activating and deactivating services such as NAMED, HTTP and some more of the sorts. If it is access to the CPanel, then you can get the FTP access credentials from there. If it is the access credentials for FTP, then you'll have to get yourself a FTP client and then access it through that. Though it could be done through CMD/SHELL, it requires that you know the FTP command set. Another word of advice. Do not replace the original files after editing. Always keep a backup of the originals. Best of Luck Regards Binaek Sarkar Foundation
