Managing files and websites over FTP with Linux
FTP, in windows we have some basic programs to do that like Filezilla, which is great and gets the job done. You can use that for Linux as well. http://filezilla-project.org/download.php If you feel that you want to use the command line utility like I do then its much simpler. $ ftp $ (type in user name) $ (type in password) you are connected! You can use the basic navigation commands just like you would in a Linux file system but there is a downfall, you cannot tab your way to seeing everything on the server. Now to the basics: getting a file : ftp> get edit it, change it w/e putting it back in: ftp> put REMEMBER you go from your base, as in terminal type in cd, the path starts from there. I recommend using git or perforce and syncing your ftp with your local version, it will make your life a lot easier. Happy Ubunutuing!
