download files from your metpage site

Post by wolfway »

hello,

I was trying to add some new files to my metpage domain site, but every file i edited DISAPPEARED. Quite bummer but found the reason, I uploaded some files a while ago but the 'mb used' meter does not update until a few days later so suddenly I had a few MB too much space used :rolleyes:

Anyway, I want to delete a whole bunch of files but save 'em to my computer. How do i do this? In the old filemanager you could select files and press a download button but I can't find it no more in this version. There's one big folder I just want to download.

Help?

You are talking about a FTP-Server right? Just use for example Filezilla and drag the folder from the server to your computer, that should work.

Click select (last row) for the files or folder you want to download. Click add to clipboard. At the bottom: Compress clipboard files to /domains/*******/public_html: enter a name in the box (backup for example). Click create. It creates an archive (zip or gziped tar) of the selected files. Go the public folder, you'll see the archive, click on it to download it

i tried that before, but whatever I try I get an error (both zip or tar), example:


An error occured while creating the compressed file


Details

Error while compressing file:
zip warning: name not matched: domains/wolfway.metpage.org/public_html/col/DVD/pics/dvdaudio1.jpg zip warning: name not matched: domains/wolfway.metpage.org/public_html/col/DVD/pics/dvdaudio2.jpg zip error: Nothing to do! (try: zip -ry /home/mpwolfway/domains/wolfway.metpage.org/public_html/testt.zip . -i domains/wolfway.metpage.org/public_html/col/DVD/pics/dvdaudio1.jpg domains/wolfway.metpage.org/public_html/col/DVD/pics/dvdaudio2.jpg)


I fear i cannot make a file because i exceeded the 50 MB thing and thus can't make a new file. Because when I edit a file and click save, the file becomes empty (so i loose my file) meaning i can't even edit files.

Downloading all the files manually to delete them afterwards is a pain in the ass :mellow:
