Jamroom Hosting is now live for everyone!
Jamroom Hosting
Perry, get your FileZilla program/account going.
The windows on the left will be showing your 'local' stuff- on your computer. You need to get your filezilla set up so that first you can see your local computer content in the left side windows. Navigate to where you keep your JR and Ning stuff.
Then you need to put in the info to connect to your jamroom server so that your stuff on your JR server (folders, JR modules, other stuff) will be showing in the right hand windows...that way you can transfer things back and forth.
you'll need to fill in info in the upper boxes to make a connection to your (remote) JR server. The "Host" is your JR site IP address. Port: 222. Choose "SFTP" connection.
Login type: normal. User: jamroom
Password- your jr server access password.
then hit 'connect' and see what it says and does.
Once you successfully connect to your server, look for "sites" and then for your domain folder. In that you;ll see a folder called public_html. That's where all your JR stuff is. Inside that folder, you'll see your JR folders of stuff. Be careful not to delete stuff without really knowing what you are doing. Right click inside the area in the public_html folder to 'create directory' and you can create new folders...I have one called Lisa Misc. You will be uploading your ning archive into a folder you name Ning_Archive (use that exact name). don't put a whole Ning archive folder within another new folder. You could actually just upload your whole ning archive folder and then rename it Ning_Archive once its there...or upload one ning folder at a time (like "discussions", Groups" etc) into a new Ning_Archive folder you create in public_html folder. I renamed my ning archive folder "Ning_Archive" BEFORE i uploaded it to my JR server.
Somehow, you will want to 'save' or bookmark the site connection to your JR site before you disconnect, so that later you can just click on the extreme upper left drop down ox for 'sites' and it will suot-connect again ...using the 'site manager' of filezilla.
Hope somehow this helps.
