Help! Looking For A Good Samaritan To Help Upload An Already Coded Site.

[mextri]

Hi guys,

 

I hate to admit it but I'm in over my head here. I have a site that I created five years ago that I want to reupload. The code is complete it's just that in the last five years I've forgotten everything about FTPs. It's starting to feel like what might take you five minutes would take me five days. Anyone willing to help? I can send you all of the relevant files and log-in information - I just need this thing back up before the end of the week.

 

Thanks very much in advance!

Sure, send to baileyjmatthews@gmail.com

There are really nice GUIs for ftp on PC and Android now, your server name is <your server>.heliohost.org

 

Your login name is: your cPanel username

Your password is: your cPanel password.

 

The port is the default FTP port.

 

 

The best was to upload is with the cPanel file manager, you can upload your site as a archive and extract it in the file manager

Thanks Bailey! I'm out of the house right now but will send it over later tonight.

If possible can I have all the files in a .ZIP file so I can upload it from my phone quickly for you

[Bailey]

Mextri, have you sent it because I havent received anything!

[mextri]

Sent last night but resending now. Let me know if you don't get it! Thanks again.

What server are you on? Forgot to ask

Try this:

 

Download filezilla at https://filezilla-project.org/

 

Then use these settings:

 

host: johnny.heliohost.org

port: 1373

protocol: SFTP

logon type: normal

user: mextri

password: <same as cPanel password>

 

Also, be careful giving out your username and password. Heliohost admins will never need or ask for your password. In this case it appears a helpful user is willing to upload your files for you.
