How To Backup Host Account With Out SSH Access
Oct 1, 2007
I am moving hosts and my old host is unable to backup my current site and give me a single tar or zip
file of my websites (They do not use cpannel)
The only access I have to them is var ftp and there custom control pannel, I have been backuing up.
My new cpanel host has given me SHH access and I was trying to
run a ftpsync a perl based script to sync a site but it times out "421 No Transfer Timeout (900 seconds)"
At the moment I am backing up the site to my local pc but it has been running for the last 12 hours, All the sites only total about 350mb but they are made up of lots of small files and I think that this is the reason why it is taking so long.
I wanted to know if any one had any other ideas as I am a little bit worried that I might lose some data that is why I would like to some how backup my old host direct to my new host.

Actually I make backup in 1 ftp account, also I have another ftp account what I don't use it. Do you know how to copy files directly from 1 ftp account to another one?
1 ftp account it's with bqbackup.com
1 ftp account it's with another backup provider
any of them have ssh access, so I'm looking to something like copy-at-the-fly ftp? without downloading all first to another server?

I run a shared hosting
OS:centos with whm/cpanel
and would like to restrict access to mysql database
example:
username:user1 created database:user1_db1,user1_db2 etc..
and can only access his own databases
so user2 can't access user1_db1.db2 etc.. and user1 can't access user2_db1,db2 etc..

I have a few domains that I recently migrated to cPanel.
I created a 2 ftp accounts on one domain and (example bill@site.com and john@site.com), both accounts can be accesed using ftp clients, and also from Opera browser with this info:
ftp://site.com:21/ or ftp://server-ip:21/ - username bill@site.com or john@site.com and passwords.
But, this accounts can not be accessed using Internet Explorer, and my customer only uses IE , the error I recieve is something like this:
Code:
FTP Directory Error
Windows does not have access to that folder. Make sure the name of the directory was written ok and you have permission to access that directory.
Details:
The connection with the server was reset
I already tried restarting pure-ftpd, flushing the firewall rules, and there problem stills..
Im using RHES 4 + lastest kernel 2.6 and the latest release version.

I want to create a special FTP account as such:
- The user would only be able to view and upload to one directory, such as mysite.com/images/
- The user would only be able to upload .jpg files, no code/php/html or anything, just jpg pictures.
- There would be a limit of upload. (ie. only 50 MB of upload per day)
- The user would only be able to delete the files that he uploaded. (or the user would only be able to view the files he uploaded)

I have an account on an older server. Its plesk.
But now that I pointed the domain I can no longer access the old server from the web.
So this is my shared ip:
66.235.201.136
Now there are about 10 domains on the IP.
what would my URL look like to access one of those accounts in plesk in the browser?
66.235.201.136/~rgratitu
I've tried the above and it doesn't work.

any idea if search engines have access to our hosting account and can see which country the files are uploaded?

Can't access my web site, my web host says it's my ISP.
My WebHost said "It seems that your ISP cannot resolve the domain".
Can an ISP have any control over the accessibility of individual domains?
That's sounds a little strange to me.
My ISP support is currently closed, but I suspect they'll tell me to contact my web host.
I was able to access it earlier today.
What do you think? Is the ISP theory possible?

I woke up this morning to find I wasn't able to access my domain based email or my website. So I figured I would check with my host, (www.hostpc.com), and I was unable to access them, also.
I had someone else from a remote location and PC check and they can access hostpc as well as my website.
My PC is up and running fine otherwise.

Before we get any further I would ask that people not relentlessly spam this thread with this or that, telling me how great your web-host is. Im sure it is. I do want serious replies that address my concerns.
I am currently with a web host called bluehost.com -- with which I am becoming VERY dissatisfied with. They are now consistently having downtime which causes me a lot of frustration when I am in the middle of editing a file (or many files as I like to do). Frustration aside, what is this going to cost me when I am not just developing and rather depending on them to keep me alive and available? This is NOT why I pay $7 a month.
Further, I find it absolutely rude and unacceptable the way I am treated by their customer service representatives. In this regard I am uncertain what is worse, letting them know Ive troubleshooted the issue on my own and therefore know something, or acting as if I don't know anything at all about the problem. Either way I receive rude, snarky, condescending, and / or passive-aggressive irritation from aformentioned representative. They "guide" me through steps they probably read from a script and when they are done "diagnosing" the problem I feel as though I've been raped. Its quite an ugly scene. I do want to mention however that I have NEVER had even 'acceptable' customer service from any of the 4 or 5 web-hosts I have tried (by tried I mean more than 6 months of sticking it out).
I wish to find a web host company that is relatively large in size. This would imply a few things to me that:
A) They have the capacity to reduce or eliminate downtime to something approaching zero at worst and zero at best.
B) They have the capacity to staff knowledgeable customer service representatives that are not snivelling, sexually challenged uber-geeks with a grudge against the universe.
I do realize this request is like expecting politicians to be honest or more specifically if the said host is large and resource laden, they probably did not get there by hiring the best and brightest to sit by the phone.
C) They offer SSH access to their customers. And other small details would include a list of basic and expected necessities such as: MySQL, PHP, FastCGI, Zend Optimizer, sub-domains, pop3 accounts / mail, a control panel for account settings, and of course error logs and the like.
So, if anyone knows of a host with these features, please let me know and / or please let me know of your experiences with this host. If you have had problems with Bluehost please keep in mind that they have treated me *relatively* well, with the exception of customer service not worth the goo between my toes.

Why don't we use hosting account on other company to backup our server/vps?
there are few company around who offer lot of space an BW. I am thinking to use that account for backup our three VPS.
Is that secure?

I would have to assume That No shared hosting service provider would agree to provide full server administrator privileges directly to the Business's customers.
The Company In View is DiscountASP.NET.
Their Officials state that they can use the Web server's feature delegation capabilities and ASP.NET enhancements to enable customer access to key Web service parameters quickly, securely, and more cost-effectively than ever.

Has anyone tried any online backup services which gives mobile access also. I have been thinking about trying one. But I'm not sure if any are better than others. My main concern is security.

I'm trying to understand how nameservers work. Here is what I would like to do. I'd like to have one nameserver point to my main hosting account and the second one point to another hosting account that I will call my back up host. Is that a proper use of the two nameservers or is that not a good idea for some reason?

This is a nice company,but i am not allowed to make backups of my home pc and put them on my shared hosting account.
For the rest i like this company,but i also want to use a hostingaccount for my own backups.
Can you recommend me a company like hostgator where i am allowed to put backups on the hostingaccount?

The one thing that currently annoys me is that when an account is terminated from one of our servers, the account is still left on the backup drive.
Is there any way to automatically remove the accounts files from the backup drive when terminating an account? Or do I have to continue to do it manually?
Using cPanel/WHM/CentOS on all servers.

Using online backup service, it is possible if we are root or we have a vps or server to keep an exact replica of our site that we can fire off in the event of downtime happened.
Is there a solution where we can keep an exact backup (a mirror) using a reseller account even without root?
(without downloading the files of all the sub account to our own pc of course)
