Creating a File Download Area on Your Website

No Comments

This help page explains how to use your domain hosted with Cruzio to transfer files to your friends and colleagues without having to give them login information to access those files. Instead, you create a download area on your website, to which you upload the files you want transferred. Then to transfer the file, you send an email containing a link to the file, which can then be clicked to download it.

Creating a .htaccess file

To set up this type of file transfer, you will need to include a .htaccess file in your domain. This .htaccess makes it so that a link to a file downloads the file, instead of just showing it in the Web browser.

  1. Start a new document in any simple text editor, like Notepad or TextEdit.
  2. Copy and paste the following code into that new file: 
    AddType application/octet-stream .extension

    In the code, replace .extension with the extension of the file type that you want to be downloaded. For example, if you wanted to transfer JPG files, it would say:

    AddType application/octet-stream .jpg

    If you wanted to transfer PDF files, it would instead read:

    AddType application/octet-stream .pdf

    If you plan to transfer multiple file types, include one line for each file type.

  3. Now save your new file. For the time being, save it as htaccess – Note that there is no dot in front of the file name. This is because if we included that dot now, it might make the file become hidden from view. If your text editor requires that you add an extension, try to save it as htaccess.txt – we will be renaming this later.

Setting up your download directory

Now that you have your .htaccess file ready, it is time to set up a download folder, or directory. You will put the files that you want to transfer in this directory.

  1. Log in to your Web space, using either an FTP program or your website’s File Manager. (Note: if you have Cruzio Classic hosting, the File Manager is not available, and you must use FTP instead.)If you are using an FTP program, make sure it is set to view hidden files. (Otherwise, any file starting with a dot, such as the .htaccess file, will be hidden from view.)In the File Manager or your FTP program, go to the root directory (the folder containing your website files) of your website. For Classic hosting, this will be the directory pub_html. For other hosting plans, this will be the directory httpdocs.
  2. In the root directory, create a new directory. Name the directory download, transfer, or whatever you prefer. For the remainder of this document, it will simply be referred to as the download directory. Once the new directory is created, go into that directory.
  3. Upload the htaccess.txt file you created earlier into your new directory. Now rename the htaccess.txt file to.htaccess — note that a period has been added to the beginning, and the file extension has been removed from the end.

Using your new download directory to transfer a file

Setup is now complete. You may start transferring files.

  1. Upload a file you want to transfer into the download directory that you just set up.
  2. Test it to confirm it works. Send yourself an email that includes a link to the file you just uploaded. For example, if you uploaded the file picture.jpg to your download directory on your website http://www.yourdomain.com, you would email this link:http://www.yourdomain.com/download/picture.jpgWhen you click that link in the email, it will ask if you want to download the file.
  3. Once you confirm it is working, send the email with the link to whoever you want to transfer it to. When you no longer need the file available for download, delete the file from your download directory to free up space on your website.

Making your download directory public or private

If your domain is with our Classic hosting, your download directory has been public up until now. This means that if you provided a link to the directory itself instead of a file in it, it would display a list of all the files in the download directory. You could then click any of the file names to download that file. This is useful if you want to provide one link for multiple files in your download folder. So for example, if you had your download directory on your website http://www.yourdomain.com, the link would look like this:

http://www.yourdomain.com/download/

Anyone who clicked that link would see the list of files in the download directory.

If your domain is instead with our Website Hosting services, the download directory you created is private. This means that if you tried to provide a link to the directory, it would give an error stating you do not have permission to access that directory. The only way anyone could get to any files in it would be if they had a direct link to a specific file.

It is possible to make the directory public or private depending on your preference.

  • If you want your download directory to be private, include one extra line at the beginning of your .htaccess file that reads: 
    Options -Indexes
  • If you want your download directory to be public, include this extra line at the beginning of your .htaccess file: 
    Options +Indexes

Create a Wholesale Section in ShopSite on a Classic Domain

This information applies to Classic Cruzio domain hosting. If you purchased Web and domain hosting with Cruzio before July 2006, you likely have a Classic domain. Otherwise, you may have Cruzio’s Website Hosting services.

» Website Hosting Wholesale Instructions

Introduction

This help page explains how to set up a wholesale section in your ShopSite store. (Wholesale is the sale of goods to other retailers for resale purposes.) It can be used to sell products in larger quantities, at different prices, and to change other details relating to your products as needed.

Creating a wholesale directory in your Web space

First, you’ll need to create a new area, or directory, to hold your wholesale page or pages.

  1. Launch an FTP program, such as FileZilla or CyberDuck. Using your FTP login and password (which may be different from your ShopSite login and password), connect to your domain’s Web space.
  2. In your FTP program, go to your pub_html directory.
  3. Look for your ShopSite directory, which should have the same name as your ShopSite username. Go to this directory.
  4. Inside this directory, create a new directory, and name it wholesale.

Protecting your wholesale directory with a password

You should keep your wholesale directory password-protected. If anyone tries to visit the wholesale area of your store, they will be prompted to log in with a username and password.

  1. Go to http://login.cruzio.com and enter your domain name. Select “Control Panel” and click “Go”. Then log in with your admin username and password.
  2. Click the Manage URL Passwords button.
  3. In the Add/Change Password Protected URL section, enter the URL of your wholesale directory. For example:
    http://www.domain.com/shopsite-directory/wholesale

    where domain.com is your domain name and shopsite-directory is your ShopSite directory (the one that you created the wholesale folder in).

    In the Title section, enter any descriptive title you like. This is just for your own identification purposes and has no effect on your directory.

    Click “Add/Change URL lock.”

  4. Locate the “Add/Change User” section. From the drop down menu, select the URL you added in step 3.Create a username and password for your wholesale section by filling out the fields provided, then click “Add/Change URL user.”
  5. Password protection is complete.

Creating your wholesale page

Have Cruzio change the directory “owner”

Before you can proceed, you’ll need Cruzio to help you. So that your ShopSite can access your new wholesale directory, contact Cruzio and ask that we change the ownership of the wholesale directory to www. Please refer to this document when you contact Cruzio.

Add a new page in ShopSite

After Cruzio has made that change, you can use ShopSite to create a page to contain your wholesale products:

  1. Log in to your ShopSite admin page.
  2. Click the Pages icon.
  3. Create a new page by clicking “Add a Page”.
  4. Customize your wholesale page as you like.In the Advanced Info section, set “File name” to
    wholesale/filename.html

    where filename is whatever word you’d like, as long as it does not contain spaces or uppercase letters.

    When you’ve finished editing the page, click Save.

Add products to your wholesale page

Now, populate your wholesale page with products:

  1. Click the Products icon.
  2. If you have a wholesale product already created, click List All Products and locate your wholesale product. Select it and click Edit Product Info.If you do not already have a wholesale product created, click the Add a Product button.
  3. Locate the Product Pages section and click the Select button.In the list under “Product is not in these pages”, select your wholesale page and then click Add.Click OK.
  4. Customize the rest of the product settings as you wish. When you’re done, click Save Changes.
  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for any additional wholesale products.

Publish the new page

Now, Shopsite just needs to recognize your new page. There should be a yellow tab in the upper right corner of the ShopSite admin page that says Publish. Click Publish, let it process, and it will say “Done!” when complete.

If you do not see the Publish tab, click the Utilities icon instead. Then click the Publish button. Finally, click the Regenerate button. It will say “Done!” when complete.

Your wholesale page is now online. To have a look at it, go to

http://www.domain.com/wholesale/filename.html

where domain.com is your domain name and filename is the file name you chose earlier for your wholesale page. You will be prompted for a login and password, which are the ones you set up earlier. Once you’ve logged in, you will be able to see your new wholesale page.

Inviting your resellers to your wholesale store

Contact your resellers, and provide them with the address of your new wholesale page, along with the username and password.

Requirements for accessing your Cruzio VPS via SSH

To access your Cruzio VPS with SSH, you will need SSH client software, such as Mac OS X’s built-in Terminal application, or PuTTY for Windows (click this link to get PuTTY).

Connecting to your Cruzio VPS

Open your SSH client of choice and connect to clientlogin.cruziohost.com (replace “clientlogin” with the login name you selected for your VPS when you signed up).

Using PuTTY on Windows to access your Cruzio VPS

  1. Open PuTTY and enter the following settings:

    Host Name: clientlogin.cruziohost.com (replace “clientlogin” with the login name you selected for your VPS when you signed up)

    Port 22

    Connection Type: SSH

  2. Click Open.

    You may be shown this message:

    The server's host key is not cached in the registry…

    Click Yes to accept the server’s RSA key and store it in your computer’s memory for future sessions.

  3. At the “login as” prompt, enter root as your username and press the Enter key.
  4. You’re now prompted for your password. Enter your password and press the Enter key. You’ll now be logged into your VPS as root.

Using Terminal on Mac OSX to access your Cruzio VPS

  1. Open the Terminal application on your Mac (you can find it in the Applications -> Utilities folder).
  2. Type

    ssh root@clientlogin.cruziohost.com

    (replace “clientlogin” with the login name you selected for your VPS when you signed up).

  3. You may be shown this message:

    The authenticity of host 'clientlogin.cruziohost.com' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is (…) Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

    Type “yes” and press the Enter key. This permanently adds clientlogin.cruziohost.com to the list of known hosts on your computer.

  4. You’re now prompted for your password. Enter your password and press the Enter key. You’ll now be logged into your VPS as root.

Remember, being logged in as root gives you total control over your VPS, but also the power to make detrimental changes.

Connecting a Windows PC to a Wireless Network

No Comments

Introduction

The purpose of these instructions is to help you configure your Windows computer and wireless network card to connect to a wireless router (or wireless access point; from now on, the terms “router” and “access point” will be used interchangeably).

These instructions assume that you have Internet access, such as any of Cruzio’s Broadband Services, or that you are at a location with access, such as an Internet café; and that you will be connecting to a wireless router that has previously been installed and configured. If you need one, you can purchase one from Cruzio.

» back to top

Connecting Windows 7 or Windows Vista

  1. First, make sure that your wireless card is on. If the wireless card is integrated into the computer, you may have to press a button to turn it on. Please check the documentation that came with your computer to make sure.
  2. Right-click the Network Connection icon in the System Tray, located in the Taskbar, and select “Connect to a network.”
  3. In the next window, select the desired network by name. (If Cruzio configured the router for your network, we will have provided you with your network name, or SSID.) Click Connect.
  4. If the router has security measures in place (if Cruzio configured the router, it will), you’ll be asked for a password. Enter the password (if the router was configured for you by Cruzio, we will have provided you with the password) and click OK.

You should now be connected wirelessly to the Internet.

Connecting Windows XP

  1. First, make sure that the wireless card is on. If the wireless card is integrated into the computer, you may have to press a button to turn it on. Please check the documentation that came with your computer to make sure.
  2. If there are no security measures on the router, Windows may have already connected to it. You can check this by mousing over the Wireless Network Connection icon in the System Tray. If it shows the network name and signal strength, you are now connected wirelessly.If it does not:
    1. Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon in the System Tray and select View Available Wireless Networks.
    2. In the next window, select the desired network by name (If Cruzio configured the router for your network, we will have provided you with your network name, or SSID) and click Connect.If the Connect button is grayed out, you may have to first check the box that says “Connect to this unsecured network.”
    3. If the router has security measures in place (if Cruzio configured the router, it will), you’ll be asked for a password. Enter the password (if the router was configured by Cruzio, we will have provided you with the password) and click OK.

You should now be connected wirelessly to the Internet.

» back to top

What do I do if I cannot connect, or get frequently disconnected?

  • If there are security measures in place on the router, such as MAC address filtering, access could be denied. Make sure you are aware of any security measures before proceeding.
  • The network’s name, or SSID (Service Set Identifier), may have changed. If the network is your own, connect to your router with your web browser (with a wired connection) and check the SSID settings.
  • The network’s password may have changed. You may need to force your computer to forget the network, so you can make a fresh connection using the new password. See these how-tos for forgetting a wireless network on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
  • If you want to connect to a network using WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), and you are running Windows XP but not Service Pack 2, you will need to upgrade to Service Pack 2. This is a free download using Windows Update. Cruzio can also help you do this. Call Cruzio at (831) 459-6301 for more information.
  • You may have interference from other wireless routers in your area broadcasting on the same channel as yours. See this article about causes of wireless interference and possible solutions. If the router is your own, connect to your router with your web browser (with a wired connection), and try changing your router’s wireless channel. The recommended choices to try first are 1, 6, and 11.
  • You may be out of range of the router. Try moving closer. If the router is your own, try moving the router to a different location. Try moving it higher or lower as well. If the network is your own, you may want to consider purchasing a signal booster. Many companies sell boosters that will increase the signal of your router.
  • If you’ve gotten this far and are still having problems, read this Microsoft article on improving your wireless network, and follow the recommended troubleshooting steps.

My wireless connection was working just fine, but now it’s not!

Often, rebooting the router will get things working again. Pull the power out of the router, wait for five seconds, and plug it back in. You may want to reboot your computer, or take out your wireless PC card and put it back in.

What do I do if I cannot connect, or get frequently disconnected?

There can be many factors affecting your ability to connect to a wifi network. Here are a few troubleshooting measures you can try.

  • If you cannot connect at all, make sure you are using the right network name (SSID) and password. If the password has changed, you may need to force your computer or mobile device to forget the network, so you can make a fresh connection using the new password. See these how-tos for forgetting a wireless network on your Mac, or forgetting a wireless network on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.
  • Make sure you are using a dynamic connection, and no proxy. Check your Network settings:

    On Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or newer:

    1. Click the Apple Menu and select System Preferences.
    2. Click the Network icon.
    3. In the left-hand pane, select Wi-Fi (called AirPort in older OS X versions). Click the Advanced button.
    4. In the TCP/IP tab, make sure that Configure IPv4 is set to Using DHCP.
    5. In the Proxies tab, make sure that nothing is checked.

    On Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger:

    1. Click the Apple Menu and select System Preferences.
    2. Click the Network icon.
    3. From the Show menu, select AirPort.
    4. In the TCP/IP tab, make sure that Configure is set to Using DHCP.
    5. In the Proxy tab, make sure that nothing is configured.
  • If you’re running a Macintosh operating system older than 10.3, you cannot connect to a network that is using WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). Cruzio recommends upgrading your operating system if you need to connect to WPA networks.
  • If your connection is slow, or drops periodically, you may have interference from other devices nearby. See Apple’s list of potential sources of wireless interference. If the router is your own, connect to your router with your Web browser (with a wired connection), and change your router’s wireless channel. The recommended channels to try first are 1, 6, and 11.
  • You may be out of range of the router; try moving closer. If the router is your own, try moving the router higher, lower, or to a different location. You may want to consider purchasing an extender to boost your router’s range.
  • If you’ve gotten this far and are still having problems, read the appropriate article listed below, and follow the recommended troubleshooting steps:

Configuring a Speedstream 4100 or 5100 DSL Modem

No Comments

These instructions are for configuring a Speedstream 4100 modem or a Speedstream 5100 modem to work with Cruzio DSL. In addition to the modem, you will need its power cord, an ethernet cable, and a phone cable.

If you bought your Speedstream modem from Cruzio, it should already be pre-configured to work with Cruzio DSL, and you should not need these instructions.

  1. Plug the power cord into the back of the modem and into a wall outlet. Plug one end of the phone cable into the DSL port at the back of the modem, and the other end into a phone jack. Plug the ethernet cable into the remaining port in the modem, and attach the other end of the cable into your computer. Finally, turn on the modem by pressing the only button on the modem.
  2. Watch the lights on the modem and wait for the Power and the Ethernet light to turn a solid green. If they do so, open the web browser of your choice.

    If you bought your modem used, it may already be configured to work with a Cruzio connection. Try visiting a few websites. If you are able to reach them, you’re done! However, if the browser fails to load any web pages, continue to the next step.

  3. In your browser’s address bar, enter 192.168.0.1, and then press the Enter or Return key.
  4. Depending on your modem, it may ask you for a Modem Access Code. If it does, your Access Code is located on a yellow sticker on the bottom of your modem. Type it in and click Continue.
  5. On the Configuration screen, you will see some blue buttons on the left. Click the Advanced button.
  6. Several grey buttons will appear beneath the blue buttons. Click the PPP Location button.
  7. The modem may ask you for the Modem Access Code again. If it does, enter it again and click Continue.
  8. The screen will offer you three options. Select the last option labeled “Bridged Mode (PPPoE is not used)”. At the bottom of the screen, click Save Changes.
  9. Depending on your modem, a PPP Location Warning page might come up now. If it does, click Change PPP Location, and then click Restart.
  10. Now wait for your modem to restart. Watch the modem’s lights and wait for the Power, DSL and Ethernet lights to go solid green. When they do so, open your Web browser and try visiting a few websites. If they load, congratulations! Your modem is now properly configured for your Cruzio DSL.

If you are still unable to surf the Web, or if the Power, DSL, or Ethernet lights keep blinking after several minutes when these instructions say they should turn solid, please contact Cruzio Technical Support.

Getting Started

If you can see the sync light on your DSL modem, but you can’t surf the Web, it may be that the modem configuration is incompatible with the protocol used by Cruzio. This is very often the case for DSL modems older than June 2001 or modems that were used with another ISP.

The instructions below outline how to access some common modem interfaces.

Each modem typically has a vpi and vci setting (also known as vp and vc). For all new Cruzio DSL connections, the settings in the modem should be configured to: vp=0 vc=35. If you’ve had your DSL for a couple of years, try: vp=8 vc=35.
