    you checked your spam folder?

    I did, they had to re-send it after two of my emails actually. First it seems they didn't send, next time, it arrived.

    Anyway, am I doing something wrong or you can't upload files via FTP for Smart Cloud Server?

    I keep getting 550 Access is denied error... and I need help.

    works for sure, check your setup/server config/firewall settings...

    Well, I do make an entry:
    Username: Aruba Account for Control Panel
    Password: Aruba Password sent in email
    Host: ftp1.dc2.computing.cloud.it
    Port: 21

    However, there is not even single directory when I enter (which might be okay since it's new account/server) and I can only create directories, but can't upload files.

    It's only for .iso-s I think

  • wladymeerwladymeer Member

    that's what I thought as well... and that perfectly explains $1/month...

    is there a way for me to "download" this specific file for Debian 7 64bit?

    I tried wget from original link (https://sites.google.com/) but it says it's not trusted

  • FalzoFalzo Member

    probably I am not getting it...

    are you talking about an ftp server on your VM or the additional ftp service with 50GB free space?

    for the latter you can upload only .iso files as @GM2015 did mention...

    the official wheezy 64bit netinst iso is mostly not on sites.google.com, but maybe this:
    http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/7.9.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-7.9.0-amd64-netinst.iso

    Is anyone else getting network burps?

    I apologize if I sound confusing, I'm not 100% into this...

    Simply put, I made one Cloud Server (Smart), and I wanted to put one .tar.gz file on it. I thought I had to activate FTP service for that. But, now I'm not sure if I'm supposed to upload anything with this service.

  • kingpinkingpin Member

    IIRC, FTP service is only for uploading custom OS images, and it is not available for the Smart plan, only for Pro.

  • wladymeerwladymeer Member

    @kingpin: Okay, lets reverse the question:

    I need to upload one .tar.gz file - is it possible for Smart plan and how to do it?

    I just logged in to http://assistance.arubacloud.com/Main/Default.aspx to fire a ticket (not related to the problem you mentioned), and noticed there's a News section.

    Looks like there was some DDoS recently.

    Aujourd'hui, Vendredi 17 Juillet 2015 dès 9h (UTC+02:00), une importante attaque DDoS (distributed denial of service) a ciblé DC1, impactant notamment l'accès aux services des plateformes Cloud publique et Cloud privé.

    Suite à différentes conte-mesures déployées par nos équipes réseau au niveau du transit IP, la situation a pu être stabilisée avec un retour à la normale progressif entre 10h et 11h.

    Au cours de cette période, l'accès aux VMs et services associés sur ce datacenter ont pu être dégradé. Pour autant aucune des VMs n'a eu a subir d'interruption de fonctionnement.

    Au regard de ce contexte particulier, nous tenons à nous excuser pour la gêne occasionnée.

    so that has nothing to do with the FTP service you can use from within their control panel!

    as you booked an unmanaged service you have to setup your cloud server with a working OS of your choice (debian/centos/etc.) and after that you may upload a file via winscp or choose to setup an ftp server software on it (like proftpd/vsftpd/etc.)

    remember: this it not like shared hosting, were everything is preconfigured. it is an unmanaged server which can and have to setup to your needs but all by yourself!

    probably you want to have a look into some kind of control panel to manage your VM with like webmin or vestacp (which indeed you have to install before you can use it)

    or better go back to shared hosting, as it seems to me you kind of misunderstood what service you purchased there and how to handle it ;-) (no offense meant)

    Thanked by 1wladymeer
  • wladymeerwladymeer Member

    No offense taken, I'm using such service once in two years so I know I can get dizzy ;)

    I had to choose SFTP protocol, so I can upload files I need now, thanks!

    Huh, every IP in the spam lists.
    Now I understand why it is so cheap.

    Solid performer in my collection I have moved all my production servers which utilize under 1 GB of RAM to @arubacloud

    DE,UK,FRA,IT1 are the best IMO and CZ is not that bad for that location
