FTP AND TELNET

FTP and Telnet are common features used for maintaining your website. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is the most acceptable method for transferring files from client to server. Telnet allows clients to administer their account remotely via a command-line interface.

Unlike most other hosting companies, Sitemall.Net allows clients to maintain more than one FTP account for the purposes of group participation on the construction or maintenence of a website. Clients can create additional FTP accounts in real-time, set the startup directory on such users, and delete extra accounts automatically.

Anonymous FTP allows clients to take advantage of the FTP protocol for visitors to their website needing to download large files without a login or password for each visitor. Anonymous FTP can be installed and uninstalled automatically.

Telnet is a remote service which allows users to log into the server and administer their website using a variety of system calls and executables. Telnet is an extremely powerful tool for website administration.

SSH is a remote service which allows users to log into the server and administer their website using a variety of system calls and executables. SSH is an extremly powerful tool for website administration, and unlike Telnet, SSH is a secure method of working in a shell environment due to the high level of encryption used.
