Hi Joy. From your email headers it is clear that you are coming in from an Aliant connection. As you may or may not know, Aliant connections to Chebucto get routed through the United States so it is a very good idea not to use plain text methods of connecting to Chebucto such as telnet. We support encryption using all our available protocols so you should use SSH (encrypted telnet) if you want to log in to the text interface and edit your files in place. A good Windows SSH program is Putty. There is a link to it in the recommended software list at http://chebucto.ca/news Set Putty to connect to host chebucto.ca using SSH2 and set the Keyboard option for Backspace to be Ctrl-H then save these settings as the default. Your web folder is reached by logging in then typing gfiles to get to your files area. Your web folder is called public_html. You can also choose to edit the files on your own computer. We recommend using the SFTP (secure FTP) protocol and the client version of the free Open Source program FileZilla (also on our recommended software list, above). FileZilla is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. To connect, use the host chebucto.ca and set the protocol to SFTP. Right side of the screen is our server, left side is your home computer. Files can be transferred to your home machine and modified there using any text editor or graphics program then uploaded back. If you want to set your mail access to also be encrypted (a very good idea), you can find how to set that up here: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/PPP/securemail.shtml On Wed, 4 Nov 2009, Joy Mendleson wrote: > Not really > telnet://chebucto.ns.ca/ > doesn't work from my computer any more, does it work from yours? > > Please tell me how to login to my account so I can edit my public files. > > Thanks! > > > > > > Quoting Richard Bonner <ak621@chebucto.ns.ca>: > >> >> On Sat, 31 Oct 2009, Joy Mendleson wrote: >> >>> telnet://chebucto.ns.ca >>> I found it on the website >>> http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/help/INet/Telnet.shtml >>> >>> I usually did it in the past through the web, but I haven't done it >>> lately. >>> >>> Thanks! >> >> *** You're welcome.
