I'm new to magento and was wondering a very basic thing, I saw that in order to change some things on the web I have directories such as app/design/frontend/..... so my question is, is there a way to access this files from magento admin panel or I necessarily need to check them from the server?
You can not access this folder in admin panel.You need to go to the mentioned file location and change there whatever you want.
If your application is on remote server you need ftp access.
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/onestepcheckout
you can also copy the file to your theme and make changes there.
app/design/frontend/default/yourtheme/template/onestepcheckout
You can only edit CMS content from the admin panel.
Modifying templates/css requires access to the file system (ftp/ssh).
i don't this there's any why that help you to edit magento files without login to FTP / SFTP. so i think try to get FTP / SFTP details

I'm using Joomla 2.5 and the backend is not shown correctly. It seems that the template is not loaded correctly.
This is my page:
http://www.fussball.tsg-kastel.de/administrator/
The page as such is shown correctly but as you see, the backend isn't...
Try doing this:
Rename the admin templates folder on the host server (for a backup)
FTP transfer of an admin template folder from another Joomla site and then copy it from the FTP location using a file manager into the admin templates folder.
You could have a corrupt file or just missing some files from installation. This has happened to people before and by doing these two steps it seemed to solve their issue.
Hope this works out for you.
You probably have a fatal error. Go to configuration.php and change error reporting to development. This will render the error to the browser (alternatively check your apache error log). I predict you probably have a plugin problem -- perhaps your host updated PHP version for example. Whatever it is, deal with that problem.
This is my first time working with SFTP. I'm used to using a cPanel with a hosting company (like JustHost or GoDaddy, etc.).
I'm able to log in to my SFTP server through FileZilla and I'm able to upload files onto the server but when I go to visit the page on my web browser, it gives me a 404 error. For example, let's say my IP address for the server is:
123.45.67.89
I have the logins and I use them in FileZilla and put files in. And then I want to navigate to a file (in this case I'll use the phpMyAdmin directory I've created since that's what I'm trying). In the browser I write:
123.45.67.89/phpMyAdmin/setup/
This directory exists and has an index.php file in it but when I try to go to it, the browser gives me a 404 error. Am I missing a step here? Do I need to somehow work the login credentials into the URL? I've tried other paths too and they don't work either.
Thanks for your help!
EDIT
I just realized that with SFTP, the browser uses the information that's in the /var/www/html/ folder to display. I can navigate to those directories by just simply typing the directory name in. I suppose my question now is how do I get to the root directory in my web browser. Using just the 123.45.67.89/ defaults to the /var/www/html/ folder...
Which web server do you use? If it's Apache you should learn about apache virtual hosts and modify the apache configuration file (usually on /etc/apache2).
See here for more details.
I created ftp account through DotNetPanel and for some reason now it throws eror "hexadecimal value 0x03, is an invalid character.". However I noticed that an user has been created on the server and I am able to login through ftp client.
When I am logging in, it points to C:\inetpub\ftproot folder. Now I want to change the pointing folder so that I can point this user to my website folder and I can upload the files for my website.
Any help please.
I realize you ask about user directories and my below answer was how to change the default home directory for your FTP site. Since you may still want to do that I have included it at the end of my answer.
Here is how to change the Users folder location:
Open the FTP User Isolation icon from inside the IIS website that houses your FTP and make the changes as necessary such as Isolate Users: User Name Directory
To Change the Default Home directory of FTP: First right click on the site you have FTP set up for and Choose Advanced Settings
Then change the PhysicalPath to one you want:
I am using Wordpress and Easy Digital Download plugin to sell digital files.
I have the following how-to questions:
How to avoid a user to see or to use direct download link?
How to create a download link that has an expiration like session?
How to secure a wp-contents/uploads folder?
You might be interested in this:
deny direct access to a folder and file by htaccess
simply put a .htaccess file with the content "deny from all" in the folder.
Then only scripts from your webspace should be able to read files from there.
This should be a first step. You would need a php-file serving the data instead of accessing those files directly.
Eg like this: http://www.kavoir.com/2009/05/php-hide-the-real-file-url-and-provide-download-via-a-php-script.html
(as I am not aware of wordpress plugins, maybe just google for them, this explains how to write those in php - if you cant do that youre pretty much stuck to wordpress plugins)
Nah, Nah, Nah... It's easy man update your plugin, and check your settings...
Step 2. You will see in you plugin settings, that it has 24 hours expiration date download link in forwarded email
"WP Secure Links" is WordPress plugin at codecanyon that lets you create a secure link to downloadable files.

for securing the uploads folder needs some good .htaccess work
check the comments section of this, its explained
Still relevant in 2020 so I have written a small plugin that enables secure and temporary downloads in Wordpress:
WP DISPATCHER
It is free and simple. Check it out :)
I want to prevent users access for my "~/Content/..." folder I wrote it as follow in "Global.asax.cs" and put this line of code at the top of every other routes
routes.IgnoreRoute("Content/{*pathInfo}");
but it does not work. in fact user can see every files in content folder by type the URL in browser.
am I missing something?
How did you figure out that it does not work? Give example.
You may have put it last in the Routing table. So try to move it up so that it gets added to the routing table first. The route collection is an ordered list of routes.
Also try this : Routes.IgnoreRoute("Content/");, but your version of ignore is also correct and it should work.
Lastly, I do not know what you mean when you say the user can see all the contents of the Content folder : Isn't that the point? User must be able to download files from the folder, and we usually just need MVC to ignore the requests from coming into the framework, and so that IIS can directly serve those files.
or did you mean Directory browsing is enabled, and you want to disable that : In that case go to IIS manager, and select your website and look for the Directory browsing option and disable it as shown here.
Your problem cannot be solved by routing constraints. There are 3 significant steps in processing request:
IIS got request.
IIS watch at filesystem and search for direct correspondence to file
If IIS didn't found any file - it gives request to ASP.NET MVC for processing.
So, you need to configure folder security to forbidden direct access to files, but allow access to application, as here.
But I don't recommend to secure folder, that should be shared. I don't believe that your site shouldn't have images to display :) If you have some secured content, you need to create another folder.
