YoHost Linux Hosting FAQ: FTP
I don't know how to use FTP. Can you help?
| | The easiest way is to use a program like CuteFTP
for Windows or Fetch for Macintosh.
|
When I create an FTP account, where will it point?
| | It will point to the corresponding directory in your account.
For example, if the FTP account is named my_ftp,
it will point to public_html/my_ftp/. If the directory does not
already exist, it will be created.
|
What about anonymous FTP?
| | You can use your control panel to allow anonymous FTP.
Anonymous users will be directed to your public_ftp directory,
which is outside the public_html directory.
|
I uploaded a file called ".htaccess" but I can't see it in my directory. What's going on?
| | By default, hidden files beginning with a period are not listed.
To view them, find a setting in your FTP program called remote file mask or
remote server mask (or anything similar) and include -a in that option.
If you're using CuteFTP, follow these steps:
In the Edit menu, click on Filter...
Under the Options tab, check the box labeled "Enable remote filters (Server applied filter)".
In the box labeled "Remote filter," type -a
|
I created a subdomain, subname.mydomain.com.
Can I define an FTP account that only has access to this subdomain?
| | Yes, just define an FTP account whose username is subname.
