Did you try the one that I suggested? ftp://username@domain.com/ which will then pop up the sign in dialog that was mentioned. /files doesn't work for me either.

That's odd... at home (Win XP, no service packs) I can't get in no matter what. Here at work (Win XP, SP 1) I had to use: ftp://username@host.com/ and then just put my username (without @domain) and password in the box and it worked. Odd. The way you suggested didn't pop up the box, it just put me in as anon. It would probably work if anon access was turned off.

I was working on this recenlty myself... what I concluded (though I might be wrong), is that the FTP client must support explicit encrypted FTP connections, which IE doesn't. Standard FTP connections can sign in, but can't get a directory listing, thus IE hangs while looking for the file list. Mozilla can display the file list, but doesn't appear to have a way to upload files to an FTP site.

I'm not a support person here, but this might help... CPanel has a feature that I think answer your question (though I haven't used it yet)... Under Site Management the option is Hotlink Protection. More info can be found here: Hotlink Preventor help

I recently installed the phpBoard that is listed on cpanel. It seems to work ok. Apparently it's supposed to be a one click thing. You click on "Bulliten Board" there and tell it what subdirectory you want the board installed in. *BUT* I ran into some problems. The installation status kept coming up blank. Bad sign? Apparently. I then got an install dialog when I tried to go to my forum. The middle section was a bit tricky to figure out, but I finally did... if you have that problem, post here w/ what it's asking for and I'll tell you what I ended up putting there.

I've been reading the posts here by clicking on "View New Posts" and then locating those that I haven't read yet. The problem is, I can click on a thread, read it, then click "View New Posts" again, and that thread still shows up in the list of unread messages. How do I clear that list, short of marking everything as read?

Apparently I posted too soon... OK, I was right... the time zone in the General Admin-->Configuration control panel *IS* the server's timezone (which on Linux systems is usually GMT). Then, each user can update their own time zone preference in their user profile. I just changed the "System Timezone" back to GMT and my local timzone to GMT-8, and now everything displays correctly. -Rex

I encountered the same problem on the forums that I set up the other day, where I'd set the time zone to GMT-8, but the front page still always said "All times are GMT". I assumed that maybe I'd misinterpreted the meaning of the config option, as it says: "System Timezone", which might actually be the time that the server's clock is set to, but if that were the case wouldn't the current time displayed in GMT then be wrong?

I just wanted to let you guys know that I really appreciate the QUICK response times to support requests. I've put in two so far and one had a 28 minute response time, and one had a 3 minute response time! Good job! So far I like this place a thousand times better than my old hosting provider and haven't even thought of looking back. Thanks!

I tried to post as an unregistered user on the backend services forum and could not. As for registering, I assumed that I needed my domain info to do so, but maybe I was wrong. Once I got my new account info I created a registered account & have had no problems since. Thanks!

More details: Support page & FTP are still using the original assigned password POP3 is using the new password that I entered (so I know that I didn't mistype it twice) cpanel & webmail won't sign in at all. Thanks!

Help! I changed my main account password, and now I can't sign in anymore! Does it take time to propogate? Why doesn't the old password work anymore? The old password still works for FTP. I've tried the new password shortened to 8 characters, etc, but it still doesn't work. I also can't get into webmail.... though, I didn't try it before the above mentioned problem I'm using the IP address right now since the registrar hasn't propogated. Thanks!
