Sacfurs.com

Client Configuration

Account:

• The combined user disk quota for all services is roughly a gigabyte.
• SSH access requires a secure shell client, which is a bit like telnet.  We recommend the free PuTTY client.

DNS and Web-hosting:

• Your site can be accessed at http://username.sacfurs.com, which will redirect to http://www.sacfurs.com/~username.
• Custom domains can be setup.  Our DNS servers are NS1.THEWEYR.NET and NS2.THEWEYR.NET.  Please contact Leam if you’d like to move a domain over.
• SSI is enabled, and .htaccess files should work just fine.
• DNS typically takes 24 hours to propagate after initial setup.
• Perl, shell scripts, and php are supported for CGI.

FTP:

• If you don’t fancy the FTP commandline, you can use the free FileZilla client.
• Connect to sacfurs.com on the default FTP port.
• Active and passive connections should both work.

E-mail:

• I just found out that file attachments are limited to 2 megabytes.  I’m working on this.
• The incoming mail server is sacfurs.com on the default POP3 and IMAP ports.
• Please use your ISP’s outgoing (SMTP) mail server, if possible.  If your ISP does not relay SMTP, you may use our server, which requires authentication.  The address is sacfurs.com.
• Documentation for SquirrelMail can be found here.

Blogs:

• Users wanting to create a blog on their site should contact Leam.
• WordPress documentation can be found here.

Usermin:

• Webmin documentation can be found here.

XML/RSS Feeds:

• You can view our feed with a program called FeedReader.  It’s free, and dead-easy to use.
• Google Desktop 2 can also be used.

Usermin:

• Webmin documentation can be found here.

IRC:

• The GAIM and Trillian (non-free) IM clients have IRC integration, for those who want to get up and running quickly.
• mIRC is a more full-featured (and non-free) client.
• There’s always the web interface (use the #sacfurs channel).
