![]() ![]() SSH is the most secure method of connecting to your server - and FTP is one of the most insecure, even if you lock it down by IP etc.Īnyway, as Neally said, good luck with your first steps into Linux. I've been playing with Linux since the mid-nineties, about when kernel 1.2 came out until present. GUI work is great for an end-user, not so much for someone trying to actually install production stuff like servers. There are some GUI front-ends, but they always seem one or two steps behind, since everything is produced by everyone else. I can't tell you how many times I've tried and retried webmin, for example, only to find that I still have to go to a terminal to fix some config file or other for web, ftp, or samba. If I'm doing a lot of file management, I prefer to work in a GUI (I don't have to, but I like having the trashcan, cut and paste, etc). If I have several tasks that I know work correctly in GUI, I'll go through the trouble of firing it up. So again, excellent point from Scott - know how it works, why it works the way it does, and I'll through in that once you know that, play around with the GUI stuff so you know what works there. I've been busy with other work and haven't got back to this yet. I've been reading through your suggestions and am trying to learn what I can with my limited time on it. I did try setting up NoMachine, but I haven't got it to connect just yet, something with the port numbers I think. This is not my "career", so I'm not concerned at all what people think of my skills. ![]() ![]() I'm more of a hobbyist IT guy, and I enjoy figuring new things out and learning. The cool thing, is my only real client is one of my best long term friends, so I get to experiment and learn while helping his company out.Īnyhow, ultimately I want to learn how to administrate, secure, and run a standard CentOS box with Apache and Wordpress. ![]() I really need something easy to start with like "How to setup Linux and make your own Apache Webserver for dummies" so I can at least get started and experiment. I already installed Apache, and it is working on HTTP80. So, now I need to figure out how to setup different sites, manage directories of those sites (FTP/SFTP), and then finally install Wordpress and deal with that. ![]()
