This post continue with the review of the host gator ftp features, and this will talk abou the anonymous ftp features offered by hostgator. If you know cpanel, you probably already know what i going to tell you here is very simple and straighforward. Anonymous ftp meaning that any user can access your public_ftp folder at the server, and do the download or upload of files. So, you will need to look into details on this.
As you can see, the anonymous access to public_ftp is granted, when the first option is ticked.
“Allow anonymous access to ftp://ftp.hostgatorreview.org” .. this is the default setting. And no harm to allow this.
For the second options, its adviced not to ticked on it. Not to allow anonymous user to upload files to your public_ftp folder. It can be security threat, uploaded illegal content like crack etc. So leave the “Allow anonymous uploads to ftp://ftp.hostgatorreview.org/incoming” option blanked.
As we all know, Hostgator hosting is using cpanel X control panel. And as i know, this is the best control panel around. And most recommended for php/linux hosting plan. Glad that host gator is offering this control panel. From the cpanel, you can setup your ftp account. Although after you sign up hostgator, you already given a primary ftp login to your account.
If you are new to FTP, this is the File Transfer Protocol. And you will be using FTP to upload your files to hostgator server. Let login to cpanel and take a closer overview of the ftp features provided.
FTP Accounts
With the FTP account utility you can control FTP accounts for your users or if your account has sub-domain support you can add FTP accounts for your sub-domain(s)
Setup Anonymous FTP Access
Here you can change how anonymous FTP users should be treated and change the anonymous upload policy as well.
Anonymous FTP Message
You can edit the anonymous FTP welcome message that users will see when they login to your FTP site.
FTP Session Control
This utility allows you to disconnect users or time out FTP sessions.
OK, ftp account management and also anonymous ftp account is provided. I will write more details on this in later posting. And what cought my attention now is the “FTP session control”… actually i can use this tools to view currently active connection to my server. Information displayed will include session and login time. And i can disconnect them accordingly. cool
… now after i setup the speed widget, and i got the link. So, i visited it now and what i seeing is something like this… a google map. Where i can see those that accessing the speed widget test page where i paste in the javascript a moment ago.
A closer look is that, this speed widget is something like a user voting or pooling system. Where visitor to my website can drop their vote and .. the speed reflected is actually their personal opinion. So, if you think this blog loaded very fast then you voted it 5. And if its slow.. you still can voted it 5. Hehe… this is not the real speed reflected. But is “rate my web hosting speed” thing. Ok!
I heard of this hostgator speed widget few times before, but really no interest to get it started or installed. Simple it that i know this hosting server is fast, and i very satisfied with it. My personal experience already the strongest proof. However, today i jump to a site, and its talking about this speed widget… ‘rate how fast is your website’ again. Well, its time to give it a try.
The speed widget website is here www.hostgator.com/webhostingspeed/ …And what i need to do is enter in this review blog hosted at hostgator. The url are: www.hostgatorreview.org .. after that i am given a piece of javascript code. About 9 lines long. And i am suppose to paste it to this blog post. I am doing it now…
cool
