Hi everyone, Is it possible to create a temporary ftp login? server runs on server. exampledomain .nl:8080 If I have a customer who, for example, has a domain of nicestuff .com but is not yet correct via DNS, can he already upload his stuff via ftp via a temporary ftp? So ftp to for example Hostname: server. exampledomain .nl User: customerftpaccount @ server.exampledomain .nl And all his stuff comes to his own web (nicestuff .com) As soon as the DNS is correct, he can make an ftp connection directly to his own domain. Thanks! Kind regards. Michael
FTP does not depend on the change of DNS and your user should always connect to the hostname of your server and not his own domain anyway. Login to ISPConfig, create an FTP user for this website in ISPConfig, and use the username and password to log into your server using your server hostname or IP, that's all.
That works! thank you! And is it possible if I now set up a website there that it will already be viewed? for example. clientdomain.server.serverdomain.nl server.serverdomain.nl/customerdomain Kind regards. Michael
See here on how to access a name based vhsot before DNS has changed: https://www.faqforge.com/linux/serv...ess-a-namebased-website-without-a-dns-record/ This makes little sense, while it's possible for you to add such a subdomain to a site. The reason that it makes not much sense is that almost all cms systems used today incl. WordPress rely on the domain name of the site, so copying over a WordPress site and accessing it like this would not work. You would have to reconfigure WP for the subdomain. And if you would do that, WP will stop working again when you switch over the final domain. So better use the hosts file method described in the link above, which works for Windows, Linux and Mac Desktops, as it gives you a reliable preview of the site. Using a subdomain makes only sense if you want to develop a new site over a longer period of time.
Yes you are absolutely right about wordpress and that will be difficult to install in advance. I hadn't thought about that yet. Then the easiest thing to do is just wait until the DNS is completely ready. Thanks a lot for your help! Very satisfied with ispconfig and the quick help here on the forum Kind regards. Michael
