Renamed title and description to reflect the topic.
Did you read pinned topic about WsFTPPro? You have to enter the directory called public_html. In there you'll find the files you see through your cPanel File Management. WWW directory is just a short cut link to public_html. All your web page related files should be under public_html and its sub-directories.
You are, then. already in the public_html folder. So what seems to be the problem here? You upload your phpnuke theme files to main/{proper folder dir}
You must use QUOTE tag even when listing directories!
QUOTE
_private cgi-bin images
Leave these alone. These directories are used when you install scripts in the future. The images is a default directory for storing all your picture files, although you are not binded to it. Looks like you installed a chat script and icon folder either created with it or by phpnuke or you made it. And "main" folder seems to be what you named the directory when you installed phpnuke. So what's the problem again?
ok well its hard to describe what seems to be the problem... ill try my best. (btw sory for not using quotation)
well i connect using CuteFTP, i set my host adress to
QUOTE
www.ghci-esp.trap17.com
set my password and username. It connects and comes up with the following folders which i stated in the previous post. Thing is, when i access my "main" folder(which is the folder i made for phpnuke to be set up/installed in) it comes up with a bunch of subfolders within the main folder like for example(im not going to state them all their is allot))
and various other folders and files. What i want to get to is my main/themes folder so i can upload new themes, but even when i try these folders such as the http;//ghci-esp.trap17.com/main folder(within the main folder) it just brings me back to this list of folders...
hmm i hope this helps with describing my situation... sory for not responding sooner but it was fri night and i was tired from school (believe it or not on a fri lol)
My website is split into two directories: "site", which is my main site's content, and "forum",
which explains itself. The "site" directory is mostly filled with Joomla! files due to my
website using the Joomla! CMS. Previously, I was able to upload templates and extensions to
Joomla! without fail. However, since today whenever I've done either of these I just get
"failed" messages. Unable to source it to a problem with Joomla, I tried to access the directories
using FTP. I was able to access and rename all my directories using FTP, but whenever I t...

I recently got approved for hosting. I have an account right now, but I don't know which
directory to post my FTP stuff in. (I don't know if this is in support or not; the search
results didn't return anything.) I remember with my last host that had CPanel that you had to
upload it into the "public_html" folder. So I do that, or do I just upload it into the root
directory? Thanks in advance! (EDIT: Oh, never mind, it is /public_html.)...
Would it be allowed to have an upload script to transfer text files (homework) from laptop to
desktop? Because my printer is set up from my desktop, and most of my homework is done on my laptop.
So would this be allowed? Thanks....
As I said, I had to move my web site away from Trap17 temporarily because I had ran out of disk
space. Now, when my upgrade is finalised, I would like to ask for a little assistance. The provider
I will be moving my site from, back to Trap17 also uses Cpanel, and the admin let me know to do a
backup and that backup could be simply transferred via FTP to my new provider. The backup includes
all my files and MySQL data, in other words, the whole web site. It is in a .tar.gz format. How do I
get all this across? Do I 'unzip' the file and then transfer them bit by bi...
A few days ago I tried to log into cPanel on my site ( www.liamssite.trap17.com ) and it didnt work.
Also, whenever I try to upload a file (I use filezilla) I get this: QUOTE Status: Resolving

the files. I created a folder, named Forum, and uploaded all the SMF files there. On the

Hi all, I have a few questions about the Drupal Content Management System. First of all, is there a
way to integrate/bridge two content management systems together? E.g have Joomla! manage the
entire site yet have Drupal manage a small section that is integrated into the "entire site" that
Joomla! manages? Second, is it possible to create articles that only certain users can view
using Drupal? There are some articles that I would like to restrict to certain people. I know it is
possible to do that with Joomla! but is it possible to do that with Drupal? And a...
Suddenly all my file permission aren't writable in the Joomla directory. Furthermore, when I go
to delete old files or overwrite them, I get a varity of errors both in my FTP programs and using
the Cpanel flie manager. When I checked the needed directories file permission they read 777
(which is needed for installing components) yet when I got to access them they are unwritable. This
has just happened in the last day or so and the not being able to delete files mannual in the past

QUOTE Obtaining SMF You can download the latest beta from the download page on the
official Simple Machines website. There are a number of packages available, as this guide covers
fresh installs, you should download one of the "install" packages as these contain all the files
needed to get up and running. We suggest you download the zip option as this is most common and
therefore you are more likely to have the tools required to unzip it already installed on your
computer. Unzip the package, ensuring you keep the directory structure, if you are using Windows ...

I have been using Frontpage 2003 to make a website, it is basically complete but I need to know how
to upload the files. I have been playing around with the file manager and it seems like I have the
site there but in a very inefficient manner. Is there any way I can just use Frontpage to upload
the files and type in my password and username in Frontpage? If so, can you lead me to a thread that
explains it or tell me? If not, is there an easier way to upload files into the File Manager
other than picking them one-by-one? Thank you very much for your time.... I f...
How do I unzip TAR files on the server? Is there a specific program that does this? I don't want
to upload the little "module" packages one by one to the server because that will consume more
bandwidth. If there is a program that does this and it is freeware, please tell me where to get it
and what it generally does. I use ZipGenius 6 to open most of my compressed files, including TAR
files. If there is a better way to do this, tell me how to. Thanks...
Okay guys, I'm having a bit of a problem regarding my website and domains. Basically, I have
about 6 domains...I want 3 or 4 of them to go to my main site (a blog), and the other 2 to go to
another directory of the site (a graphics forum), so I've been trying to set up my cpanel to be
able to do this. The current setup is like this: plusone.trap17.com -- my blog
plusone.trap17.com/forums or forums.plusone.trap17.com-- graphics forum As an example, I have these
two domains registered: jrockett.info plusoneconcepts.info and I want them to direct like this: j...

Hello, Im new to this "creating a web site" thing... And I just got hosted by trap17... My

I have a big problem uploading my website with the ftp protocol. I usually don't allow my ftp
client to act as a server, and most importantly, i don't let my ftp client to act as a server to
receive connections from the internet. But when i try to upload my files to my trap17 ftp account,
part of my free hosting account, my firewall is allways asking me if i want to allow my ftp client
to act as a server and if i allow it to receive connections from the internet. I don't think
that is normal, i use other free hosting servers and none of them ask to turn my...
