Wonder if someone can help please.
I have a web hosting package with 1and1 (yes I know!) which I have had for many years.
I have a question relating to accessing my storage on the server (at 1and1) from my local machine ie my pc
I understand that I can use a
dedicated FTP client eg Filezilla. I use SmartFTP and it works fine.
My question is to do with accessing data on the server using a
browser as the FTP client.
It used to be possible for me to access my data on the 1and1 server by using
ftp://mydomain.com or
ftp://subdomain.mydomain.comThis has now been changed, so one has to use the server name or
ftp://homexxxxxxxxx.1and1-data.host (were xxxxxxxxx is my client reference). Using this method I can access the server from my browser.
However, I can now only seem to download files from the server to my local machine and can't move items the other way.
Years ago, when I opened a domain or sub-domain via FTP using a browser, I could move files or whole folders either way, much in the same way that one could do if a usb thumb drive was connected to a pc.
I have just spent 30 minutes to 1and1 support and the support person didn't even understand what I was talking about!
Does anyone using 1and1 and who has knowledge about this please let me know.
Many thanks for any info provided.
