| | 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??

Has There Been A Mistake?
- I do not seem to have the default package. (8)
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. ...
Downgrading A Hosting Package 2

I've been wondering for a while now, since the amount of days is hardly piece to achieve. Are

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?...
File Manager Problems
- (3)
Alright, I figured out the edit html windows need to be refreshed each time opening them for them to
show the last updates so you don't just work off the old, un-updated version and mess everything
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...
