Help : Ftp Setup For Smf Package Manager

delivi
I've installed SMF in my website, I found a very useful feature for adding packages in it. The FTP Package Manager enables us to browse and download the mods directly from the source to our website through FTP, hence saving time and bandwith.

I want to se3tup this feature, this requires my FTP server name and login info.

MY doubt is should I give just the site FTP address, ftp://laschatz.info/

or for the forum folder ftp://laschatz.info/forum

or for the packages folder.

I would go with the ftp from the site and I tell you why, the security is already set up to prevent anyone from uploading to your site. So that's one less thing to worry about.

I wouldn't give ftp access to your forum, because their are many way to sql inject a forum. Though I never heard of someone doing it through ftp.

However if oyu feel uncomfortable I would set a separate ftp account that in no way could affect either of your sites and give full access to the point where they can download stuff.

thanx for the concern and the advise saint Michael.

This system is not for submitting to the other website, I'm setting this in my Admin Control Panel of the Forum. Is this also risky??

    Hi, I was wondering if there has been a mistake when my webspace was set up. I read that Trap 17
    offers 150 Mb webspace and 5Gb bandwidth per month. Yet, when I go to my control panel I seem to
    have only 20 Mb and 512 Mb bandwidth. That is why I temporarily had to move my site away from
    Trap17 as I ran out of webspace (I have filled 52.2 Mb of webspace so far). Could someone clarify
    this, please? Thanks. ...

    the hosting package 1. Theoritical it would make sense, because it requires 20 more credits for the
    package 2. If we posting a post in the forum do we achieve more days for that post if we having
    package 1? If thats the case, are there any opportunity for downgrading to a package 1 account?...

    Alright, I figured out the edit html windows need to be refreshed each time opening them for them to

    up (which really should get fixed). The problem that most annoys me though is when I try deleting
    files and the File Manager doesn't delete them. I try uploading updated files over them and it
    doesn't update them, but just keeps the old ones there. It's getting really annoying. And
    when I try deleting stuff from the Trash Can, it never deletes it. Sometime...
