ftp

If your are developing web applications, you my use an editor like visual studio code. How can you upload changes you made in your local files automatically to a webserver using (s)ftp?
Download and install WinSCP. Log in using your credentials. Browse on the left file browser to your local folder where your webapp is stored. Browse on the right file browser to the folder on your webserver where the same webapp is stored on the server. Click on the menu bar on “Commands” -> “Keep remote Directory up to Date…”, select your options and press start. Now you can change any files in the local folder and all changes will be synchronized automatically to the webserver.

Custom charset encoding in filenames when using FTP

FTP is often used to transfer files from one server to another or to create a backup of a website. In most cases, copying all the required files works just fine. Problems might occur though, if some of the filenames use an unexpected charset encoding. When downloading and re-uploading such a file, the filename will be broken and the website won’t be able to serve it anymore. How can you ensure, to always download files with their correct charset encoding?

Changing the timout in the php-files manually

I realized that I wasn't able to log in in any way. But this was seeming a problem of some older versions of Joomla. They allow you to enter any value you want as timeout but if you enter a too high value you will be not able to log in again. Fortunatelly I could access all the source files of the CMS via FTP and I also had the access-data like username and password and so I could change the timout value to another one in two source files in which it is neccessary: the index2.php and the index3.php file. You can find that solution in the troubleshooting-section in the Online-Book "Joomla!" from http://www.galileocomputing.de.

Automatic upload - Eclipse - FTP server

Eclipse is an IDE for implementation of applications in different programming languages. During the programing of an PHP web application it must be first deployed to the server in order to run it. It is possible to configure Eclipse to run a PHP program on local server, but sometimes it is necessary to implement the program locally and run it on a remote web server (because of the tweaking of the application or other reasons). We want to make the process of uploading of the PHP files to the appropriate folder on the remote FTP server automatic. The particular file should be uploaded after each save on the local disk.

easy to use backup tool for linux

Create an incremental backup of a debian-linux server with an easy to use tool. The backup-server is reachable via ftp and sftp. The backup should be encrypted and compressed to be space and bandwidth efficient. There should be an easy way to either restore parts of the backup or the full system after a failure.
