How to upload webpage contend???

[HANNES1985]

Hi this might sound like a stupid Q but I'm struggling for quite a wile now to upload a web page to Apache on my ebox server ( now ver 1.2) I used core ftp but looking to the documentation it seems that you would not be able to upload via ftp ,ssh, or any of the protocols core ftp provides could anyone point me in the right direction please I can access it and even via my dns IT WORKS comes up when entering my URL so all is fine just need to upload contend now

You can upload the content to the home of the admin user by scp, and then you can move it to the proper directory by ssh.

Okay so what I understand is I enable file server on ebox administration page for me (the administrator) and upload everything in there (This part is already done )


Now login on to page via ssl and transfer from admin user to www data file? How do I go about doing this???

[J. A. Calvo]

Uploading via file sharing (samba) as you have done is also valid, I told you to do it using "scp", but no problem, it's ok. Then you can use ssh, not any ssl web page. Using ssh you get a shell where you can execute any command like "mv" to move the files.

not any ssl web page. Using ssh you get a shell where you can execute any command like "mv" to move the files.

Any specific programs I can use in this case? Sorry but Im new to the uploading process In ebox!

[J. A. Calvo]

ssh is a console program itself, if you want a windows client you have putty.

You can get a shell from any machine in the internal network with "ssh ebox-ip-address".

Thanx for your help thus far!!

Download 'putty' from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and use it to SSH into your ebox machine.

Once you have done that, you have a shell where you can write commands to move the files you have uploaded to the appropriate place. You can read about moving files here:
http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/unix2.html

The directory used by the webserver is /var/www, so you'll need to move the stuff there.

Cheers!

Thanx for you help just one Q though id like to know what do you type before the /var/WWW to get into this directory cos it tells me no such file or directory when I type this into putty after the login process

[J. A. Calvo]

The directory is /var/www, in lower case.

Thank you I got that part right but now it tells me I cant move it because access denied

I used mv home/hannes/CSIWISP.html -t  /var/www

mv: cannot move `/home/hannes/CSIWISP.html' to `/var/www/CSIWISP.html':
Permission denied

What can I do now Sorry to bug you like this but this is the only way I would be able to learn how to do it myself!!

You have to run the command as administrator, for that, just write 'sudo' before the command.

You can move the file using:

Code: [Select]

sudo mv /home/hannes/CSIWISP.html /var/www
