How to Hide Hidden Files in FileZilla ClientIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
Open the FileZilla FTP client.
Click the 'Server' menu and click the 'Force Showing Hidden Files' option if it has a check next to it, otherwise leave it alone. In older FileZilla versions, click the 'View Menu' and ensure the 'Show Hidden File' option is not checked.
Press the 'F5' key on your keyboard to refresh FileZilla. Hidden files, such as Apache '.htaccess' files, should no longer be visible. Restart FileZilla if you can still see hidden files.

'Disconnected From Server' in FileZillaIn Feburary 2016 26,
In Feburary 2016 26,
FileZilla can implement most of the variations of FTP, which is one of the oldest applications on the Internet. FTP's original version had few security features. To compensate for this, FTP over SSL/TLS, called FTPS and SSH FTP, called SFTP were developed. SSL is the Secure Socket Layer, which was later replaced by Transport Layer Security. These are the security features behind the HTTP Secure protocol, used by eCommerce websites to enable shoppers to enter their credit card details securely. The same security system was added to FTP to create FTP Secure. SSH is the Secure Shell that is a secure terminal emulator. SSH has its own file transfer protocol, known as Secure FTP. FileZilla is also able to transfer files according to these protocols.
Error Characteristics
The error occurs when uploading files from a PC to a server. The application completes 85 to 90 percent of the file delivery, then displays the message: “Error: Disconnected from server: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted.” Afterward the transfer resumes, starting at 40 percent. It may again abort at the 85 to 90 percent mark and slip back to 40 percent transferred, or may complete the second time. On other occasions, the disconnected message appears in the log file, even though the file transfer continues and completes.
Cause
FTP uses two connections, one to send commands back and forth and the other for the transfer of data. FileZilla also maintains a separate connection to display the remote file directory in its own browser window. When a file is being transferred, the user often stops using the browser connection and it times out. The reported disconnect is for the browser connection, but the file transfer connections stay open because regular “keep alive” messages pass back and forth, preventing the server from closing them. The recurring transfer break at 85 percent is caused by an intermediate firewall or router dropping the control connection, which FileZilla then re-establishes.
Solution
FileZilla reports disconnection in its log file, but does not identify which connection was dropped or why. If the transfer proceeds and completes, there is little to worry about; this is a misreported or imprecise warning. Genuine dropped connections are usually caused by firewalls. You should specify FileZilla as an exception to force your firewall to accept the application's traffic. Where errors are caused by intermediate routers, there is little you can do to avoid the problem, because the router is not within your control. FileZilla, however, does work with proxy servers, so you can channel connections through a proxy to help the network server avoid a consistently troublesome router.

How to Update Drupal ModulesIn Feburary 2016 25,
In Feburary 2016 25,
Log in to your Drupal admin interface. You will need your username and password to get in.
Navigate to 'Administer, Reports and then Available updates' to view your modules that have updates available.
Backup your database. This can be done in a variety of ways using phpMyAdmin, phpMyAdminToolKit.Dump or the Drupal database administration module or backup module.
Download and save the code files for any modules you are updating using your FTP access software. Any FTP access software, such as FileZilla, Dreamweaver or Internet Explorer, will work. It is a good idea to back up all the module code files. They are located in 'Root folder, Drupal installation (if in a subfolder otherwise your root folder will be your Drupal installation) and then Modules.' Individual modules will have their own folders within the Modules folder.
Navigate to 'Administer, Site Configuration and then Site Maintenance' in your Drupal interface. Select 'Offline' and click 'Save Configuration' at the bottom to place your site in maintenance mode.
Navigate to 'Administer, Site Building and then Modules.' Uncheck the modules that you need to update to disable them. Click 'Save Configuration' at the bottom.

I Could Not Connect to the Server in FileZilla 1and1In Feburary 2016 24,
In Feburary 2016 24,
Users often confuse hosting accounts with FTP accounts. You enter the username and password for your hosting account to access the website control panel on 1and1. This username and password is not even relevant to FileZilla. Instead, you need to retrieve the details for your FTP account to use FileZilla. You get an FTP username and password in the welcome email when you join. If you no longer have access to this email, get your FTP username from inside the panel and set up a new password.
Account Management
Access your admin control panel by logging into your hosting account. If you have more than one domain, choose which one you want to administer. Select 'FTP Accounts' in the 'Webspace' menu to see your username -- this is the username that you enter into FileZilla to upload files to your website. However, because the password is hidden even in your own account for security reasons, you need to create a new password if you do not know it. Click 'Edit' to see the option to create a new password. Write this and the username down on a piece of paper to make sure you are using the correct account details in FileZilla. You can also click 'New User' to set up additional usernames and passwords for FTP purposes.
Establishing a Connection
Now that you are sure you have the correct username and password for your FTP account, you need to enter the correct information in FileZilla. Open the software, then click the 'Site Manager' icon, which has an image of two computers, near the top. In the window that pops up, select 'New Site' and enter any name for this site, then enter your website address; however, do not enter the 'http' and 'www' portions of the address -- for example, enter 'MySite.com,' not 'www.MySite.com.' Leave the port as '21' and the server type as 'FTP,' but change the 'Logontype' option to 'Normal.' Enter the FTP username and password that you've retrieved from the 'FTP Accounts' section in your 1and1 hosting account. Click 'Save and Exit.' To establish a connection, click the 'Site Manager' icon again, select your website and click 'Connect.'
Other Troubleshooting
If you are still experiencing connection problems, you may have an issue with the FileZilla FTP utility. Because this is free software, download another copy from FileZilla's website. If you still cannot connect with a new copy, 1and1 may be having a server issue; call 866-991-2631 to check the server's status. Another option is to try another free FTP client to isolate whether the problem is FileZilla or 1and1. Examples include Core FTP and Go FTP.

How to Read an XLS File in PHPIn Feburary 2016 22,
In Feburary 2016 22,
Go to the PHP Excel Reader download site, and download the package called 'php-excel-reader' (see Resources).
Unzip the downloaded file by double-clicking on it.
Upload the file called 'excel_reader2.php' to your website. Use FTP or your Web hosting service's file upload service to do this. The file should be placed in a folder where your PHP scripts can find it. You can put it in the same folder as the PHP script you wish to read Excel files in, or you can put it in a folder that is in the 'include path.' The 'include path' is a set of folders where you can put files that your PHP script will always be able to find, even if your script is in a totally different place. Your website might have a folder called 'includes' that is in the include path. If it does, put 'excel_reader2.php' there. If it doesn't, put it in the same folder as the PHP scripts with which you wish to use it.
Read an XLS File
Upload an Excel file to use as an example. Create a simple Excel file, and save it as 'example.xls'. Open the file and fill in the first three columns of the first row with the words 'column 1', 'column 2' and 'column 3'. Then on the second row, fill the first three columns with the text '1-1', '2-1' and '3-1'. Then fill the first three columns of the third row with the text '1-2', '2-2' and '3-2'. Save the file and upload it to the same folder where you uploaded excel_reader2.php.
Open your favorite text editor, and save a text file called 'example.php'. This will be your PHP script for this tutorial.
Write your PHP script to open the Excel file, read the table of data and then print the data out in the user's Web browser. Use this code to do it:
rowcount(); $r++) { //walk through each rowfor ($c = 1; $c
colcount(); $c++) { //walk through each column
echo $xls->raw($r, $c) . ' '; //Display the data in that cell
}echo '\n'; //make a new line at the end of each row} echo '
'; //close the HTML we made earlier?>
Save and upload your PHP file to your website. If you were able to put PHP Excel Reader in the include path, you may put your PHP file wherever you wish. If not, put your PHP file in the same folder as PHP Excel Reader.
To check your work, visit example.php in your Web browser. You should see the table of data from your Excel file printed in your browser window.

How to Fix Internet Explorer When It Is Opening AutomaticallyIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
Disconnect your computer from your Internet connection. The easiest way to do this is simply to unplug the cable before starting the computer. If your Internet connection is wireless, disable your wireless card. Once your computer is disconnected, restart it. This may stop Internet Explorer from automatically opening windows on a temporary basis while you troubleshoot the problem.
Start your computer in Safe Mode if Internet Explorer is still opening windows that prevent you from troubleshooting. To start in Safe Mode, shut your computer off. Turn it on and immediately begin pressing the F8 key about once a second until you see a menu. Your mouse won't work, but your arrow keys will. Highlight 'Safe Mode' and press Enter. Do not choose 'Safe Mode with Networking.'
Open the Control Panel. In Windows XP, you can reach the Control Panel by clicking 'Start' and choosing 'Control Panel.' Open 'Internet Options.' On the 'General' tab, click 'Delete Cookies.' Click 'Delete Files' and choose to delete offline content. On the Security tab, click 'Default Level' for your Internet zone. On the 'Privacy' tab, click 'Default.' Check 'Block pop-ups' and click 'Settings.' Click 'Remove All' and 'Close.' On the 'Programs' tab, click 'Manage Add-ons.' Disable any add-ons (if you find that an add-on has caused the problem, you may remove it and leave the other add-ons enabled). On the 'Advanced' tab, check 'Reuse windows for launching shortcuts.' Click 'OK.'
Open 'Security Center.' Set 'Firewall,' 'Automatic Updates' and 'Virus Protection' to 'On.' Note whether your virus protection is up to date. Reconnect to the Internet and see if the problem persists.
Repair Internet Explorer if possible. The repair process may require either your original Windows installation disk or a copy of the Windows installation files on your hard drive. Most major computer manufacturers provide you with one or the other. Once you've completed the repair process, restart your computer and test to see if Internet Explorer no longer opens windows automatically.
In Windows Vista, open the Control Panel. Choose 'Internet Options.' On the 'Advanced' tab, click 'Reset.' Click 'OK.' This option may also be available under Windows XP, depending on your version of Internet Explorer. If so, try it before using the separate instructions for repair under Windows XP.
In Windows XP, click 'Start' and choose 'Run.' Type in 'sfc /scannow' without the quotes. Click OK. If you are prompted for your installation disk, provide it.
Malware Infection
Run a full scan of your computer with your anti-virus software. If your anti-virus software is not up to date, try to start your computer normally or in 'Safe Mode with Networking' and update it. If you're unable to get Internet Explorer to stop opening windows long enough to run the update, boot to Safe Mode to run your anti-virus scan.
Run an anti-malware scan like Spybot Serach & Destroy or Ad-Aware. If possible, update your anti-malware product before running the scan. If you don't already have a malware scanner installed, download and install Spybot Search & Destroy from Safer-networking.org or Ad-Aware from Lavasoft.com.
If you can't use Internet Explorer for this purpose but can still access the Internet (i.e. you're able to use Windows without being in Safe Mode), press Window-E on your keyboard to open Windows Explorer. Enter the web page for one of the anti-malware tools in the Address bar and press 'Enter' on your keyboard.'
Restart your computer and test to see if your Internet Explorer is still opening windows automatically. If so, an IT professional may be able to manually clean out or disable the malware causing the problem. If you don't wish to invoke an IT professional, back up your data and re-install Windows.

This option may also be available under Windows XP, depending on your version of Internet Explorer. If so, try it before using the separate instructions for repair under Windows XP.
In Windows XP, click 'Start' and choose 'Run.' Type in 'sfc /scannow' without the quotes. Click OK. If you are prompted for your installation disk, provide it.
Malware Infection
Run a full scan of your computer with your anti-virus software. If your anti-virus software is not up to date, try to start your computer normally or in 'Safe Mode with Networking' and update it. If you're unable to get Internet Explorer to stop opening windows long enough to run the update, boot to Safe Mode to run your anti-virus scan.
Run an anti-malware scan like Spybot Serach & Destroy or Ad-Aware. If possible, update your anti-malware product before running the scan. If you don't already have a malware scanner installed, download and install Spybot Search & Destroy from Safer-networking.org or Ad-Aware from Lavasoft.com.
If you can't use Internet Explorer for this purpose but can still access the Internet (i.e. you're able to use Windows without being in Safe Mode), press Window-E on your keyboard to open Windows Explorer. Enter the web page for one of the anti-malware tools in the Address bar and press 'Enter' on your keyboard.'
Restart your computer and test to see if your Internet Explorer is still opening windows automatically. If so, an IT professional may be able to manually clean out or disable the malware causing the problem. If you don't wish to invoke an IT professional, back up your data and re-install Windows.

How to Remove a Parked DomainIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
Upload a website to the domain's hosting account. The parked domain page may disappear as soon as the owner's own information is added to the domain.
Delete the parked domain page on the server. Log in to the domain's hosting account and physically delete the parked page that was provided by the web host. Access the list of files by using an FTP program, such as one provided to you by the web host, or a free one that must be downloaded, such as FileZilla. Navigate to the 'index.html' file, right-click and choose to 'Delete.' This step is often necessary if the server is automatically set to run an HTML page over other extension types. In this case, even uploading a new 'Index' page with a PHP extension will not override the parked page until it has been deleted.
Change the parked domain's settings in the domain control panel. Log in and choose to turn off the domain parking. The action will vary depending on the domain provider. Navigate to a 'Manage Domains' section and click a button to 'Remove Domain Parking' or to 'Activate Domain.'
Choose to forward the domain name to another website and domain. Forwarding or masking will activate the domain instead of placing it in parked mode. Log in to the 'Manage Domains' menu and select the option to 'Forward.' Enter the domain you would like to forward it to and save.

Slow Transfer Speeds with TeamViewerIn Feburary 2016 20,
In Feburary 2016 20,
Both your Internet speed and the recipient's Internet speed determine how quickly a file transfers between computers. On your end, as the sender, the speed is determined by your upload speed. Unfortunately, U.S. service providers have plans with high download speeds but only offer a small fraction of that speed for uploads. The speed is also hindered by the recipient's download speed. If you have an upload speed of 4Mbps but the recipient only has a download speed of 3Mbps, you won't be able to take full advantage of your speed.
Available Bandwidth
Similar to the network speeds, you can only use so much bandwidth at once. If you're also hosting a video conference in TeamViewer, downloading files in your browser, streaming video or playing an online game, the speed of all your online applications suffers. Turning off any other bandwidth-heavy applications increases the bandwidth dedicated to your TeamViewer file transfer.
Opening a Port
For transfer speeds that fall significantly short of your maximum, you can try opening a port on your router to allow TeamViewer traffic to pass through unimpeded. For the most part, TeamViewer uses HTTP ports -- ports 80 and 443. You can also set TCP port 5938 open for outgoing traffic. If you're using a firewall, allow TeamViewer to communicate through your firewall. Windows comes with a built-in firewall; you can manage the settings by opening Windows Firewall in the Control Panel.
Connection Types
If either computer involved in the transfer is connected via a wireless connection, the transfer speed isn't going to be at its peak. Wireless connections lose speed, with significant loss the farther you get from the signal source. Some routers also see a loss in speed due to power settings that reduce power usage and thus output. For the best possible connection and transfer speeds, connect both computers to the Internet via Ethernet cable.

InterWorx Control Panel Vs. CPanelIn Feburary 2016 14,
In Feburary 2016 14,
Each service actually has two control panels. If you are running a hosting service, you get access to the server administration panel when you purchase InterWorx or cPanel. The InterWorx server control panel is NodeWorx. The cPanel control panel for the Web host is WebHost Manager. Website owners do not buy cPanel or InterWorx. Rather, they choose a Web host that provides one of these control panels. These website owners then get access to either the cPanel website control panel or InterWorx's SiteWorx.
Common Features
For Web hosts, common features found in both programs include the ability to create customized hosting packages for website owners, creation and management of new users, domain management, DNS management and the ability to offer reseller hosting.Website owners will find many of the same features in their control panels. Examples include email accounts, website statistics, subdomains, a file editor for editing in plain text and HTML, a file manager, FTP accounts for uploading files to websites, password protection for your website pages and backup options in case you lose data. Both control panels also provide for add-on domains, which are domains hosted under the same hosting package to save money. Both control panels also support cron jobs, PHP, MySQL and SSL.
Added Features
Each control panel offers a few things not provided by its competitor. For example, cPanel has FrontPage extensions, which allow you to directly upload files from FrontPage to your website. The cPanel product also provides several video tutorials for website owners. Services providing hosting for gaming sites can also choose the cPanel Game Server. Web hosts using Windows servers instead of Linux can choose cPanel's Enkompass control panel. InterWorx integrates the APF iptables firewall system for Web hosts. Web hosts can also use InterWorx to import entire domains previously hosted in cPanel, InterWorx or other control panels.Installation programs simplify the process of building a website, blog or similar features. To help website owners, cPanel uses the Fantastico Deluxe installation program, while InterWorx uses SimpleScripts. You can compare the list of available programs from these installation services to see which one you prefer.
Languages
Website owners in some countries may prefer a control panel due to language availability. At the time of publication, both services offer versions in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German and French. However, cPanel offers Iberian Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, as well. Other languages that only cPanel offers include Arabic, Hindi, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Russian and Chinese. However, only InterWorx offers Slovak, Hungarian, Italian, Turkish, Swedish and Czech.
Price
As of the time of publication, the InterWorx monthly license is about $25, and the yearly license is about $250. Support is included, but you must pay $50 for installation. Conversely, the cPanel yearly license is about $400, which includes installation and support. For an additional $200 per installation per year, you can get VPS Optimized2, which enhances performance while reducing memory usage. There is no cPanel monthly license. You can also get InterWorx for life for about $300. However, support ceases on that license after the first six months. An additional six months of support is available for $50. Both companies have authorized resellers or distributors. In that case, the price varies.

How to Fix Internet Explorer When It Can't Open a WebpageIn Feburary 2016 14,
In Feburary 2016 14,
Find out whether you can view any web pages. Open Internet Explorer and type in the address of a site with which you are unfamiliar. If you need an idea, look around the room and type in a brand name you see, such as 'Sony.com' or 'Saltines.com.' The reason for this is that if you have recently visited a site, the 'cached' files might appear on your screen and not provide an accurate determination. If you are able to see a new site, the issue is likely with the website you are trying to visit.
Check the connection to the modem or router. If you are unable to view any web pages, your connection might have been lost. Check physical connections to see if anything is unplugged. If you are using a wireless connection, verify that it is still working.
Unplug the modem. Pull both the power cord and the phone line or Ethernet plug out of the back of the modem and leave it alone for a few minutes. Plug the cords back in and allow it to power up completely. Try the connection again.
Contact your Internet service provider. A cable, DSL or phone line outage is a common cause for connectivity issues.

Find out whether you can view any web pages. Open Internet Explorer and type in the address of a site with which you are unfamiliar. If you need an idea, look around the room and type in a brand name you see, such as 'Sony.com' or 'Saltines.com.' The reason for this is that if you have recently visited a site, the 'cached' files might appear on your screen and not provide an accurate determination. If you are able to see a new site, the issue is likely with the website you are trying to visit.
Check the connection to the modem or router. If you are unable to view any web pages, your connection might have been lost. Check physical connections to see if anything is unplugged. If you are using a wireless connection, verify that it is still working.
Unplug the modem. Pull both the power cord and the phone line or Ethernet plug out of the back of the modem and leave it alone for a few minutes. Plug the cords back in and allow it to power up completely. Try the connection again.
Contact your Internet service provider. A cable, DSL or phone line outage is a common cause for connectivity issues.

Why Do I Have so Many Iexplore.exe Running?In Feburary 2016 13,
In Feburary 2016 13,
Iexplore.exe is a process associated with Microsoft Internet Explorer, the Web browser created by Microsoft. If you open the Windows Task Manager, by pressing 'Ctrl,' 'Shift' and 'Escape,' you may notice several instances of iexplore.exe running. This is most likely because you have several Microsoft Internet Explorer windows open at the same time. Each time you open a Microsoft Internet Explorer window, a corresponding iexplore.exe process runs. When you close the window, the iexplore.exe process stops.
Virus?
Some viruses install an iexplore.exe file that may appear in the Windows Task Manager as an iexplore.exe process. Viruses install files with the same name as legitimate Windows files in an effort to remain undetected. To determine whether an instance of iexplore.exe belongs to a virus, open the Windows Task Manager and click the 'General' tab. Click 'Show Processes From All Users' and 'Image Name.' A list of all running processes appears in alphabetical order under the 'Image Name' heading. Right-click the first instance of 'iexplore.exe' and select 'Properties.' Click the 'General' tab. Next to 'Location,' it should say 'C:\Windows\System32.' If it does not, the instance of iexplore.exe likely belongs to a virus. Do this for all of the instances of iexplore.exe running.
Warnings
If there are multiple instances of iexplore.exe running and you do not have any Internet Explorer windows open, do not assume that the iexplore.exe processes belong to a virus. Some viruses launch the legitimate iexplore.exe process in an effort to connect to the Internet. Thus, you should still check to see whether the process belongs to a virus using the aforementioned method.
Removal
To stop an instance of 'iexplore.exe' that belongs to a virus, open the Windows Task Manager, right-click the 'iexplore.exe' belonging to the virus and select 'End Process.' While this ends the process, it does not remove the virus. Thus, you should run an up to date anti-virus program. Several free anti-virus programs are available online, including Microsoft Security Essentials, Avast! Free Antivirus 6 and AVG Antivirus Free Edition.
