seventheyejosh Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hello all! I'm finally omw back to college after a 2 year break, looking to cruise through with my newfound programming knowledge... I had my classes set up on only tuesdays and thursdays, with a single big gap on each day, during which i planned a lil homework, and a lot of my freelancing. Problem is, trying today to upload a file, and for that matter connect, I failed... It seems like my FireFTP is being blocked from connecting. I tried using hamachi to establish a secure connection, but to no avail. Any advice? All i can think of is get a wireless AT&T card... Also, running OS X. Also, in before any type of mac / pc banter. Thanks I'd appreciate any help. Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 AT&T wireless cards are retardedly expensive (at least last time I looked like 2 years ago). Have you asked the college if port 21 is blocked? If it used to work and it doesn't know, chances are it is blocked, but it might be worth asking.

seventheyejosh Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 I've never had it working, just tried the other day. But yea I'm gonna ask them. And I found a site.. http://www.net2ftp.com/index.php that says they can use the web to do ftp transfers... (http tunneling i think??).. but i'm a little scared to put in my info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seventheyejosh Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 So, by using hamachi, I can establish a secure connection, and at least work on my main job's site, as they have hamachi installed. however, all my freelancing people don't have hamachi, much less the ability to install it. Anyone's thoughts? I'm not a networker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 You could use SCP or SFTP, both of which are much more secure. Or you could store your files in an SVN repository and do an SVN export/checkout on the server via CLI (my preferred method; makes it much easier).

seventheyejosh Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 May I have some examples? I know about google I'd just like to see what you use specifically. I mean, do you use an app or an addon to connect? Thanks a lot. Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I don't think there is much I can show. You setup an SVN (or git, mercurial, CVS, etc.) repository. You commit all changes there. On the production server you do a checkout/update or an export of the repository. If you have experience with version control software you'll know what I mean, otherwise you probably won't. Even if you don't want to use this approach for deployment, I would recommending using some sort of version control regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
