Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hi, I've just installed Vestacp. But when I log into the ftp with admin account, I don't see the configuration files or the usual folder structure such as "usr", "etc", "var".
The /conf/web/ folder is empty.
How can I access config files such as httpd.conf?
Thanks

You add some domain or subdomain to you Vesta?
With ftp you can't edit this files only like root or sudo permissions.
You need access with ssh or sftp like root account.

Can I use WinScp to edit my website file? Will it work?
I am talking about this tool https://winscp.net/eng/download.php
Also, I tried to edit my niagara stealth toilet post https://bestflushingtoilet.org/niagara- ... t-reviews/ and I failed to do that. It was asking permission to do that and I don't know how to get that!

Yes with WinSCP you can edit you website files.

The advice you get here seems to be very vague. It's possibly a translation issue.

WinSCP only allows you to access Web Files, not Server Files as the writer above stated.

You'll need something like pUTTY for Widows to access your server. Here's a great tutorial for setting up pUTTY:

https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/dropl ... ssh/putty/

Although it's written by the crew at DigitalOcean, it should work with any server.

Now for the problem: VestaCP seems to create a directory system starting at root. You can't just go to the root directory and enter cd etc. There is no sub directory named /etc. Despite this, all the Vesta documentation I've seen simply states that the config files are in /etc/xxx/xxx/. That's fine, but where in the living blazes is /etc hidden? What is the path to /etc?

Once we figure that out, you and I will be happy.
