I've never known the password/s. I think Duncan might have changed it - he was saying he should.
We shouldn't use FTP, and it should be deactivated. FTP, like telnet, sends passwords unencrypted, so is a major security risk. I don't know if this is how the scumbags hacked the site (they could have run a dictionary attack and guessed the password), but it is a good measure to take anyway.
Does the CPanel use a secure server (yellow background in location bar)? I could show people how to use SSH (secure shell) tools as a way of transferring files. In fact, on Linux you just type something like:
scp myphoto.jpg http://www.theforest.org.uk:public_html/photos
Doing things securely on Windows is a bit more time consuming.

There isn't much anyone can do without a password. If someone tells me the SSH password, I can probably move your files around, Ryan.
By ftp thing, I guess you have some files on the Forest server which are outside the web directory, and you want them put somewhere visible to the web.
I've never used the web site. Is this something that should be done from within Joomla or CPanel, or is it just moving files from one place to another and the framework will do the rest?

if i could get on the server i can install some simple ADMIN sections that are not FTP.
can the CPanel or Server setup a SFTP? that's encrypted and is easer to understand than SSH logins for non-techie people. unless you know a good graphical SSH program for installing onto the Forest office computer so our groups can get on the server and manage their stuff?

How about winscp.net. It's for windoze lu$ers and the screenshots look purdy. I use Putty for SSHing and it has command line tools for scp/sftp/ssh-agent.
Thanks for the password.
Do we have a whole server with multiple users to ourselves, or are we one user on a server shared by other people?
