Accessing and modifying server files with FTP
 

I am not good with telnet and had my server directories set up so I can access them with cuteftp. (ex. usr/local)

However, when I am unable to modify or create files. Only download them. Is there a place is WHM or a command in telnet that I can use to change the permissions so I can upload and rewrite over files in this directory? I am trying to change the templates for xpanel if that helps at all.

Hope someone can help in newbie terms :(

ill put someones link in my sig for 1 week if they can help

Try this - PuTTY: A Free Telnet/SSH Client

I have putty but I don't know how to uses it to upload / replace files from my harddrive to the server

If you can't upload and overwrite files, your host has set the wrong permission on the files or directories. Contact your host.

The host doesn't know what it is. I am logged in with root. Is there anything I can configure in telnet or whm to fix this?

If the host doesn't know what it is, then you have seriously picked the wrong host.

would changing the folder permissions in telnet work? It's something I really want to take care of tonight, is there anything the host can do that i can't?

Do you have read and write access to your www directories? They may just have set your control panel folders as read only.

Have a look in cuteftp for the 'chmod' command and check the file permissions in your home directory. You'll need to know how to do that eventually.

exactly............

CHMOD is 755 for the folder I want to add files to

chown might do the trick via SSH

ok i will give ssh a try, I think i might be able to change the permissions. Otherwise, does anyone know ho to upload a file from my computer to the server via putty?

Whats the telnet command to change a file or folders permissions again?

chmod





......

if you dont know what you are doing via ssh dont do it......you might fuck shit up

your on a dedicated box i assume?

You should be able to get what you need from the OS's help files:

type: 'man <command you need help with>' and you'll get info on the useage / syntax / etc :)

Yah it's dedicated. Don't know telnet really. I guess I will have to wait until the host can look into it unless someone can tell me exactly what to do

I will post at least 100 times this week with your sig if it can be fixed tonight
