[HH#741629] Stan Engel shared "rvwarsWEB SITE" with you

[HelioHost]

I transferred a new Index.html file to Heliohost using Filezilla and it does
not seem to have worked. It indicated that it was transferred. I erased the
old index file. The old site is still opening.

Are you sure you're uploading the file to /home/admin/web/rvwars.helioho.st/public_html ?

[HelioHost]

I was using Filezilla. I had my files on the left and the files at your site
on the right. I simply dragged the new Index.html file over to your side and
it said that it was transferred.

It seemed simple enough.

I am doing something wrong. I tried to open home/admin/web and permission is
denied. I am using my normal "wa2uet" for ID and the <removed> password to
log in with Filezilla. Is that wrong.

Removed password

[Krydos]

Yes, that is wrong. Like I said 22 hours ago

Protocol: SFTP
Host: 65.19.141.202
Port: 22
Logon Type: Normal
User: admin
Password: <same as logging in to Hestia>
Default remote directory: /home/admin/web/rvwars.helioho.st/public_html

Please note I said the "admin" user not "wa2uet".

[HelioHost]

Well I tried "admin" for username, I used "Default" for password and port 22
and it keeps saying "access denied".

Go to this page

https://heliohost.org/password/

and submit a new password for the admin account. It won't automatically update your server though so let me know when you've submitted the new password, and then I can manually copy it over to your VPS.

[HelioHost]

OK, it is "<removed>"

Ok, your password has been updated. Try logging in to SFTP now.

Also for future reference, please don't email your password to us. We don't need your password to help you, and email is extremely insecure so your VPS may get hacked if you email plaintext passwords.

[HelioHost]

Awesome, I am there now. So I should be able to just drag and drop my new
index file? Or should I delete to current one first?

If you drag and drop the new index file it should prompt you whether to overwrite it or not and give you timestamps and size comparisons. Deleting the file on the server first works too.

[HelioHost]

Great, now if I can remember, I am all set for now.

Thanks for being patient with me. I am 85 years old and slowing down a bit.

You're doing great! Let us know if you need help with anything else.

[HelioHost]

Do you know why the text is highlighted with light grey? I can't find the
code and would like to turn it off.

Inside your public_html folder, there's a css folder, and in there you have a file named "rvwars.css". The grey background to the text is coming from this part of the code in that file: #news p { background-color:#eeeeee; }

If you delete that section (it's probably only 3 lines in your text editor), that will remove the grey background color from the paragraph text. I hope I've explained this well, but please let us know if you still have trouble.
