I'm new to Joomla and trying to help on a project.
I'm trying to switch host providers for my live Joomla Website.
I've successfully connected to FTP within Dreamweaver and the sites files are not displaying. Locally, I see the folder 'htdcos' with only 'contact.php' in it and only '.ftpquota' on the remote end. How can I access the websites files to back them to my hard drive to re-upload them to the new host?
Use http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Use a FTP such as FileZilla http://filezilla-project.org/download.php Dreamweaver is not that much compatible with Joomla's architecture.
Most of the web hosting companies, provides a back-end (CPanel) where you can zip the website root folder and upload it to the site and extract them, that way its very easy to deploy your joomla website.

I have installed Prestashop 1.7 with MariaDB, in local system it is working fine. I have developed 4 different pages. I want to move this pages to hosting server? Do i need to install the same Prestashop version in the hosting server or just copy and paste will work?. I developed in Ubuntu 16.04 system. Do i need do some changes in db developed in local system while moving to hosting server?
You should simply follow this process:
Transfer your files through FTP to your hosting server
Transfer your database through phpMyAdmin to your hosting server (make use to use utf8_general_ci as a charset)
Upon transfer completion, edit /config/settings.inc.php to set the right MySQL password (the one provided by your hosting provider)
In your PrestaShop admin-panel, configure your main shop URL as well as if you want to use SSL (recommended) or not
Voilà!
After all setting Also You need to Change in ps_configuration table of DB.
In the name column, find the PS_SHOP_DOMAIN and PS_SHOP_DOMAIN_SSL row In the value column and write new domain name that you want PrestaShop to use.
I have a HostGator hosting package and recently decided to move to a new hosting package with SimpleServers.
The move was completed successfully, however I have decided to move back to HostGator, for reasons I won't disclose here.
So - here's the situation: I have a cPanel with SimpleServers now and I also have a cPanel for HostGator. The files/directories are present on both servers.
To get my site pointing back to HostGator, do I simply change the nameservers for my domain to HostGator's nameservers? Is there anything else I need to do?
Yes, You are right. You will have to change only nameserver, If your accounts is present on HostGator server and that account files has a updated site contents.
If your account files are old then first you will have to upload your updated site content to HostGator server and then change your Name-server.
I just have to find out, as I'm quite new and I've been digging into this for many hours now, but I just need to make sure it's possible to use Fine-Uploader to upload files on a php site to a remote SFTP server.
To be specific, I have a webserver with a php site, and I need to have an upload function for graphic files that will go to a locally hosted SFTP server. If you can at least confirm for me that this is possible, I think I can figure out the rest with docs.
So far, I've downloaded the git for fine-uploader, installed npm, installed grunt, built the git repository, and now I believe I have to add server side php handlers.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
Fine Uploader only understands HTTP; not FTP. That being said, you could easily have Fine Uploader uploading files to an endpoint on your server, and then -- maybe after some server-side processing -- serve those files over (S)FTP -- or any other protocol -- if you would like.
Fine Uploader's primary goal is to normalize the file upload experience in all browsers. The pros of using this over an FTP client would be that any user that has a web browser should theoretically be able to upload files to your service. What your service does with those files afterwards (whether that be hosting them on an FTP server, transcoding multimedia files, etc) is completely up to you.
Hope this helps.
I would like to copy a site which is currently being hosted live on an easyspace web domain to another domain that is hosted by the web company Parallels. I wondered if there was a way of doing this without fist taking the site down and copying the files back to the local server, then re-uploading them again.
If anyone has any advice on this, I would be most grateful!

It is necessary to check if fxp protocol (that is a protocol that supports file transfer between servers) is supported by both servers: but usually is disabled for security reasons. If it is active (make a question to your host admin) than you can use a fxp software as FlashFXP, SmartFTP or FTP Rush (Freeware) or similar sw.
SUPER FAST:
For direct Server to Server file transfers: if you know your ftp url or ip address you can use FlashFXP (not related to adobe flash)
Make a zip file that contains all the live files on your target server. You can do this via command line or easier through your server's cPanel. Compression Time depends on your server's CPU speed and quantity & size of files.
Download a copy of FlashFXP it works well and has a free trial
http://www.flashfxp.com/download
Log-in to your target server, navigate to directory with your target files.
Log-in to your destination server, navigate to directory to store transfered files.
Once connected & directories are visually lined-up... just drag and drop desired files into desired directory on opposing server.
Overall transfer speed depends on internet backbone traffic & each servers connection + cpu speed & throttling controls between your two servers. GOOD NEWS the speed is NOT reliant on your cable modem's connection speed. No slow download and then even slower upload, just a clear straight shot to the other server.
This FlashFXP Server to Server video tutorial is nice --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XXQgeRWWRw
What exactly do I need from a host for my webmatrix project to work? I know Scott Hanselman from Microsoft gave out a few nice host sites but I was just wondering for fun.
In order to publish to a host from WebMatrix using Web Deploy, the host needs to be in a compliant state. First of all, it has to run WebDeploy and the remote service WMSvc has to be in a desired state (enabled and started). Delegation rules have to be set up, so that the user has permissions and the right scope to deploy various components like IIS application, database, ACLs, etc. In order to check whether a host is WebMatrix-friendly, ServerValidator tool can be used (see the article for a full list of host requirements).
If you want to publish to a host though FTP, all you need to ensure is that FTP publishing is enabled on the host.
Hope this helps.
You can use any .Net 4.0 host, but you'll need to copy a bunch of DLL files to yuor bin folder.
The exact files required depend on what libraries your site uses.
At a minimum, you'll probably need
Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll
Microsoft.Web.Helpers.dll
System.Web.Helpers.dll
System.Web.Razor.dll
System.Web.WebPages.dll
System.Web.WebPages.Deployment.dll
System.Web.WebPages.Razor.dll
WebMatrix.Data.dll
WebMatrix.WebData.dll
These can be found in Program Files\Microsoft ASP.Net.
If it still doesn't work, copy any additional files from FileNotFound errors.
To publish your website from WebMatrix - your hosting provider must support one of the two publishing technologies - FTP and/or WebDeploy.
In case of FTP, you would need to manually enter the following ftp settings: FTP Server, username, password and destination url. Optionally you can also specify the site path
In case of WebDeploy, you could just get the publishsettings file for your host and import the settings. Else, you can also manually enter these settings.
