To change the FTP settings for your virtual site:
1. On the Site Management screen, click FTP Settings on the left.
2. Enter the settings you want. You can specify the number of
megabytes of incoming files to accept and the number of
simultaneous users.
3. Click Save Changes.
To download files via anonymous FTP, log on to the site with the
username “guest” or “anonymous” — you do not need to enter a
password. When you log on with one of these usernames, you enter the
directory
/home/sites/<sitename>/ftp/. The Site Administrator
can post files here for downloading via FTP client software or a Web
browser.
Site Administrators can access the anonymous FTP directory as “/ftp”
during an FTP session.
To upload files, you must use FTP client software (for example, Fetch)
and access the directory /home/sites/<sitename>/ftp/incoming/.
Once you have uploaded a file, you (as a guest) cannot see it or access it
on the FTP site. All registered site users with telnet/shell privileges can
access the file, but only the Site Administrator can access the file
through FTP.
The size limit specified for FTP uploads is the total amount of disk
space allocated for FTP uploads. If this number is set to 0, a guest
cannot upload to the FTP site.
SSL settings
The RaQ 3 Administrator can administer the
RaQ 3 through secure sockets layer (SSL). SSL is
provided in 128-bit encryption code and offers a
secure Web connection to the end user. The
implementation of SSL on the RaQ 3 is based on
mod_ssl and BSAFE cryptographic software from
RSA Security.
A secure connection means two things: encryption and authentication.
Encryption ensures that no one can snoop the connection between the
browser and the RaQ 3; authentication ensures the client, through a
certificate, that the server is who they say they are. The security is
assured on two levels.
