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....

I've just recently gotten my new host on trap17.com but I found that I occasionally get this
message QUOTE The connection has timed out The server at enoch.trap17.com is taking too long

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.

I downloaded the zip version of the SMF, from www.simplemachines.org I am using SmartFTP, to upload
the files. I created a folder, named Forum, and uploaded all the SMF files there. On the

I am trying to put php forums on my site. I think the only ones around are these
http://www.phpbb.com correct? even if there not they seem to be what most people use. I currently
have proboards which deffinelty leaves alot to be desired. What I am wondering is after i download
the forums and upload them via ftp. Where do i upload them to? the Public_html folder? and if so
can i edit and/make boards and categoirs etc just from being an admin on those forums or do i need
to go through the buttons on my cpanel Labeled MySQL Databases, phpMyAdmin, PostgreSQL Database ...

Suddenly all my file permission aren't writable in the Joomla directory. Furthermore, when I go

I am currently going to create more boards on my forum (hosted by Trap17 , of course) and is in big

I cant find a section about "ask questions about trap17 or trap17 forums" ... Anyway, please excuse
me... Im looking for a decent, free shoutbox to put on my SMF. I found one made for SMF but its
auto-scroll thingy is irritating. I found one free service with google but it's so narrow and
doesnt support special charters... Then I realised there is a perfect shoutbox in trap17
forums! Is that just a code? Can I use it? Can I, can I?! Edited topic title. Please note
topic titles are really important and they need to be descriptive ...

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 point my browser to my cpanel and my browser showed my certificate error and warned me about
accessing the site... Has anyone encounter this before, or is it just me and my browser's fault?
I've never encounter this when I access cpanel of other host before... I'm currently using
Internet Explorer 7.0... I hope that's not the problem......

we want to get rid of them, or make them invisible to the public.. is this possible? Topic closed

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...

Hello, Im new to this "creating a web site" thing... And I just got hosted by trap17... My
question is, is it possible to reset the ftp? I mean the ftp came with somethings in it; such as
public_html. To return the way it came to me... I dont have a problem right now, but Im just
curious. And by the way, the files that are existed at first place... What do they do? Rather then
providing intro page... Or those files are codes of cPanel ? *edited* thank you BuffaloHELP...

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...
