how to access root ftp?

[wormsunited]

Hi there,

I recently installed Sentora for the first time and the sstem is great, better but much better then zPanel, for that i thank all developers, you guys made a wonderfull control panel, much better indeed.

My question is how to access main root ftp in order to change some layout's over sentora.

With the old version a simple IP account with root and password was ok, but on this one i cannot connect, what am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Use SSH for that. There is not direct FTP account to access root folder.

Hi there and thank you very much for your help.

May i ask how do I use SSH in order to edit files in Sentora, like the Login page and Default templates?
Do I use vi ect/location/template.html ????

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, thank you for helping out, yeah i am i need to make some changes in the layout of the control panel, so like editing the css file and stuff, give it a litle 'warm up' and new fresh look. I want to be able to brand it all.

On the older version of zpanel i am able to login and edit those items in ftp mode using my root details and password. Thing is i want to be able to do the same with sentora but i cannot login on ftp.

Thanks in advance

As Me.b said , you should be using ssh instead of ftp for something like that.

I'd suggest using an online IDE that connects using ssh , I duno about you - but I'm not a vim ninja

goo-gaggle "online IDE" I like c9.io , but there are a few to choose from

Vim can do the work but using SSH is minimal knowledge if you plan to run a server seriously.

You can google how to use winscp or such SSH client that will give you access to remote files in an easy way

I think you want SFTP, this still works and works the same as ftp only use port 22 (not 21) and your root and password.

Thanks a lot i am going to give it a try.
I will post any results here.

Seems to me that some domains face problems working with php files in main root account such as 'zadmin'.
Did anyone noticed that also? Any advice?

Thanks in advance
