Wiki issue?

Dr.Jeckyl · 2008-06-03 07:56:44

For some reason I can't get forced linebreaks to work. I keep trying 2 backslashes followed by a space (whitespace) and the preview takes away 1 backslash and the whitespace. I'm trying to keep an image from appearing at the end of a sentence and get it to be on the next line.. but having no luck.

Link..

FYI: IT'S STILL IN PROGRESS!

Smartys · 2008-06-03 10:32:19

Add an extra linebreak between the text and the picture, no backslashes required.

Clean it up and clarify the steps. To you or I it's not even necessary but to some one who has never installed a forum (who these are targeted to) I want to leave no guess work for them.

FTP : the simplest and most secure way to exchange files over the Internet

CHMOD: chmod is a Unix command that lets you tell the system how much (or little) access it should permit to a file.

Thing is, you offer it on your "host" so you should know what they are, how to use it and how not to use them. You cannot offer a service and not kow what to do..

Most secure? lol

btw, Dr.Jeckyl, maybe you could crop some of those screenshots, the whitespace at the bottom of the browser is just a waste of space really. Looking good though

I would agree with the site, the most secure way of transferring files yes. the most secure way of managing files on a server, no.

elbekko · 2008-06-04 12:33:44

It sends passwords in plain text. It sends all the files in plain text.

Where in this process do you see security? SFTP is secure, FTP is not.

eternal243 · 2008-06-04 12:36:31

well, sftp is a form of ftp, and when using sftp you do it through an ftp client. or am i completely off?

Felix · 2008-06-04 12:50:57

Yes, it is partially right.
It is a FTP Connection tunneled through a SSL Connection.

BUT SFTP =
Secure File Transfer Protocol

OR SSH File Transfer Protocol

and the last one is an further developed Version of Secure Copy Protocol (SCP).

I bet Wikipedia has some infos about any further Infos

Smartys · 2008-06-04 12:55:40

As Bekko said, SFTP is secure, FTP is not. SFTP is not based on FTP.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol

SFTP is not just FTP run over SSH, but rather a new protocol designed from the ground up by the IETF SECSH working group. It is sometimes confused with Simple File Transfer Protocol.

Felix · 2008-06-04 13:09:41

SFTP can also be:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Trans … P_over_SSH

Another acronym with way too many meanings

Paul · 2008-06-04 13:09:42

... It is sometimes confused with Simple File Transfer Protocol.

No doubt because somebody took the ill considered decision to include "FTP" in the name.

SSH file transfer protocol is the one people should be assuming, unless there's reason to suspect otherwise. I've never heard of anyone using the other setups.

The purpose of ftp isn't security. It just happens to be the most resilient method generally used for large file transfers from a server, i.e: downloads.

Connor · 2008-06-04 13:49:05

Try to stay on topic. (I know its my fault )

I did for the forum installation one but not for the extension one. I'll fix tonight.

Thanks!
