Hi,

i just wonder if you could explain to me how this works...

My internet provider allows me to have ~ 20Mb of Web space
(http://My_URL.com)
For that, I can connect via an FTP site... and reach my Http webpage
with an FTP software.... (ftp://homepages.......)

Now, if I am running CentOS... How can I do that ?

I declare in Apache something like :

<Virtual host *:80>
servername : <My_URL.com>
directory /home/<my_name)

- but how a FTP software can reach this page for upload ?

Thanks


I think all you need to do is to login to your web space through your
providers server by using an FTP client. I'm quite sure you don't need to
configure an FTP server of your own like Kevin suggested. your provider
already have that up and running.

All you need is a username and password giving to you by your provider to
access your web space through an FTP client to upload and download the
contents of you web space.

The OP is not asking how to access his ISP, he is asking how to setup
similar behavior on his home system.

The Apache "Virtual Host" directive above points to his local system, not
his ISP... So, if he *is* asking how to access his ISP, his example is
wrong.

if you're careful enough, you'll realize that he wrote the following:

My internet provider allows me to have ~ 20Mb of Web space
(http://My_URL.com)
For that, I can connect via an FTP site... and reach my Http webpage with
an FTP software.... (ftp://homepages.......)

Now, if I am running CentOS... How can I do that ?

It is clear that Stephane is looking for help on how to connect to his web
space through FTP.

I might be wrong but that's all I understand from the writing...
