 | View Full Version : Host Without FTP??? illusion 04-20-2001, 02:48 PM i was on another board today and the web master of the board was having problems. He happen to mention he doesn't have FTP for his site. Is that possible?? I thought all host had ftp access? What kind of host doesn't have FTP? isn't ftp standard in hosting? Any host who doesn't have ftP should be banned lol:D Timothy 04-20-2001, 03:16 PM Yes, it is possible to do that. I'm sure that host has reasons for disabling FTP, but I sure don't know what they are. :D Lopapola 04-20-2001, 05:18 PM Hey! Just to mention, this is my first post in here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway... yes, there are other ways to upload then FTP. Take geocities for ex. They use an online uploading system. SECUREDNETWORKS 04-20-2001, 06:40 PM Yah, there are ways. I think if i'm not wrong the control panel hostrocket.com uses has the feature to upload right from there.

If you disabled FTP you'd not have to worry about the problem of users corrupting their FrontPage extensions when they upload files via FTP. illusion 04-20-2001, 08:37 PM Originally posted by IntelligentHosting.com In MS FrontPage publishes via http (this is the prefered way-- front page? front page is a little too lame for me i always use dreamwaver. just upload my files through ftp in seconds. it's very easy for me. i couldn't live without ftp access. it makes things simple especially for cgi files.
