How Are You Editing Your Files On FTP?

Jamroom Hosting

Thanks Brian
Concerning backups...I started downloading my public.html file to my desktop last night but it turned out to be pretty big so I stopped it after "Modules" and "Skins" had downloaded
I think these are most likely all the files i will be getting in to edit- Think this is all I need? Or should i go for the complete backup?
If I do this weekly it could take quite a bit of time....so just wondering
Also concerning this- is it ok to delete all the skin files i am not using?
For instance I am only using jrNingja and my custom skinI am working on- should I delete all the others to save space and time?
Thanks

How Are You Editing Your Files On FTP?

Jamroom Hosting

I am now live on Jamrooms Servers and with a few tweaks it looks like I am going to get better performance than I was on my previous server which was actually really fast-It's a great deal because I get great performance and great support and at a MUCH lower price
Also now I do not have to pay for cPanel but that brings me to my question
What is the easiest and most efficient way to edit your files on FTP?

I am using Filezilla and I downloaded a program called PSPad for editing code then set the file types I will be editing to open with PSPad


So here is my basic workflow right now
I download the file I want to edit- the i change the file name on the server from "filename" to "xxfilename" so its not called or lost when edit and upload the copy I am working on...if the copy I am working on works fine I just leave it on the server and leave the backyup named with the xx prefix as my backup

I am 100% new to this but this is the 1st system I have come up with here

I am wondering how those of you who have been doing this for years are doing it

Looking for the best way
Thanks

Cometchat is asking me:
"please add following IP addresses to your white/trusted list"
Anyone know the specific place in ACP to do this?

Homepage not visible to logged out users

Using Jamroom

you're welcome- I would have posted the solution but it was a long help ticket that involved installing a special file
I really cant remember what the solution was but I know if it helps Michael will recall it
After reading your post I thought "I had this problem once" so thought I would share

I am not sure if this applies or helps but you resolved the same problem I had with home page not displaying when logged out


I reckon that might help

Ok- well I found my own answer. There is a tab is the server configuration to make the URL active
It's a little different than the other server changes where we had to run the URL tool
But this is much better

Ok so my site is running on mysite.jamroom.com then I changed my domain settings to point at linode ( I just added 1 and 2) I waited for it to propagate...now mysite.com is live on my server here but all my navigation links are still mysite.jamroom.com so I went into the Ning Import tool and used the Upadate Base URL tool and set it to change the urls to http://mysite.com ( I have ran it 3 times actually) but im still seeing the mysite.jamroom.com url everywhere except the home page.

I am trying to get everything 100% on the JR server
Is there a problem with the url tool?
Do I need to add all 4 linode name servers?
Do the other urls just take time to propagate?

I have ran the integrity check- the system check and cleared my browser cache

Just curious

Email Templates

Again I would be a buyer on a module that used the smarty code to inject the last weeks content on the site into an email template for sending each week. I know it's not on the roadmap but I think it would be a good seller
