renting a server ?

[cutloose]

If you rent a server for example from SGN can u use mani admin plugin ? and if so how would you connect to it so you can change thing in config files ?

In all honestly, you'd be better off asking them.

Generally speaking, many GSPs will allow you to run a plugin such as mani's, and they'd give you at least ftp access, but it would all depend on each individual GSP

So wat is ftp and how does it work ?

FTP stands for file transfer protocal. It is used for transfering files over the internet to remote servers or other computers.


An Ftp will allow you to edit the mani admin plugin configuration files.

oh thx man , so wat does SSH mean , and how does it work ?

SSH is far too complicated for someone who cant use ftp.

well i have never used FTP how do u access it ? and do u have to be playing the game ?

no ftp is a seperate application.. that lets you send your data to online storage.. it doesn't run in game.. cute ftp is a simple ftp application.. i am lookin into a rental server my self but i can't find a reasonably priced server with the features i would like.. does anyone know of a GSP that offers remote desktop???

lol, what a major security loophole to offer shared hosting with remote desktop access, If you want remote desktop your looking a dedicated server.

[c2um3]

yeah dedicated server is more of what id be interested in but i can't afford $400 a month...

You can use HLSW to control your server remotely! I use it to run the server from school :p
