How can I test my Ethernet Express connection to see if it’s up?

How can I test my Ethernet Express connection to see if it’s up?

Please, do not reboot any managed devices on site. If you think your service is down or degraded, the quickest resolution would be to contact DataYard technical support.

Here are some recommended ways to confirm connectivity to the internet. This information would also be helpful to have ready for our technical support team when calling in:

  • Check multiple web sites (like facebook.com and google.com).

If any other sites come up correctly, the site you originally tried may be having trouble.

  • Check another workstation/device on the network for the ability to browse.

If they can browse, the trouble may be isolated to your workstation.

  • Ping a known public host address (run: ping www.yahoo.com and confirm a “Reply from” response).

If you get a good “Reply from” (shown below), there may be something wrong with browsing (possibly proxy or firewall).

testConnection1

  • Ping a known public IP address (run: ping 98.139.183.24 and confirm a “Reply from” response).

If this works (meaning your Ethernet Express connection is working), you may have something wrong with your DNS

testConnection2

  • Check your internal switch and/or firewall devices for proper lights (power and traffic).

If those devices look like they have power and are taking traffic, you should contact DataYard support.

How can I manage my Windows Fusion site using Core FTP?

How can I manage my Windows Fusion site using Core FTP?

How to install and use coreFTP to manage your Windows Fusion website.

Along with IIS 7 Manager and WebMatrix, Windows Fusion also offers FTP capabilities. Below you will find information on how to connect and manage content with Core FTP.

If you do not already have a copy of Core FTP, it can be downloaded here http://www.coreftp.com/download.html

Once installed, open it up. You should see something like this:

uploadCoreFTP1

The folders on the left are the folders on your local machine.

Now, click on File followed by Connect.

uploadCoreFTP2

This will open up the Site Manager window. Click on New Site.

uploadCoreFTP3

A new, unnamed site should have been added to the list on the left side. You should now name your site and fill in your FTP connection information.  Try to avoid naming it “my website” or anything like that to avoid confusion (especially if you manage multiple sites). For this example, my site’s name is ‘windowsfusion.donet.com’ so that’s what I named my site within Core FTP. Here’s what the completed FTP connection looks like:

uploadCoreFTP4

Another great thing about Windows Fusion is that, if you want to use an encrypted connection, you can! To enable this feature in Core FTP, select “Auth TLS” from the Connection drop-down menu.

uploadCoreFTP5

After clicking Connect, you will be connected to the web server, and the directories belonging to your user name will appear on the right side of Core FTP (your local desktop will be on the left).

The /php directory is where the PHP configuration (php.ini file) is stored, the /www directory is where you will upload your site content, and the rest of the directories can be ignored unless otherwise instructed.

For additional documentation, FAQs, tutorials, etc., please visit the Core FTP website.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact DataYard support.

How can I use Microsoft Expressions Web with your Fusion Website?

How can I use Microsoft Expressions Web with your Fusion Website?

If you do not have a copy of Microsoft Expressions Web, it can be purchased through Microsoft.

Expressions Web is a web development program by Microsoft. This software is very different from other basic FTP programs, but it also has FTP capabilities. This comes in handy because you can edit your site in Expressions and then upload your changes to the server. There’s quite a bit to this program, so for the sake of brevity I will only be providing instructions on how to publish via FTP or FTPS. If you’re looking for Expressions Web help in general, please see the Microsoft website.

First, you’ll have to be in a position to edit your site. In Expressions you have to open the site from the File menu. Click File, select Open, type your website address (including http://) and click Open.

webExpressions

This opens the site in Expressions, at which point you can make whatever changes you wanted to make, and then you will save the website in Expression’s site directory. After making your changes, click File followed by Save. Name the site whatever you’d like and then click “Save.”

webExpressions2

Now that the changes are saved to your local computer, you just need to publish the changes to your website. To do this, click on the Site menu on the top toolbar, and then click Publishing.

webExpressions3

 

The first time you publish, you will be presented with the option to add a publishing destination. Click the link that looks like the one below in Expressions to do this.

webexpressions5

This will open up the connection settings, which is where you will enter your FTP information. Here’s what my connection looks like for my Windows Fusion site windowsfusion.donet.com:

webExpressions4

Once you’ve finish adding the publishing destination, all you have left to do is publish.

FTP Information

  • Host: The Windows Fusion FTP host is currently cluster02.webhost.donet.com, though this is subject to change, or vary from customer to customer. Please refer to your Windows Fusion Welcome letter to make sure, and if you cannot find it just contact us for help. If for some reason you cannot connect to that host name, it’s possible you’re having local DNS issues, so try using the IP address instead: 72.9.40.53
  • User name: Your Windows Fusion FTP user name will be in this format:  [site name]@windows.donet.com. For example, if my site name is ‘windowsfusion.com,’ then my user name will be [email protected]
  • Password: DONet does not store customer passwords in plain text, so we are unable to retrieve any lost or forgotten passwords. If you can’t remember your password, please refer to your Windows Fusion welcome letter. If you still can’t find it, please call us at 937-226-6896 so that we can verify your identity and work with you to get your password changed.
  • Port: 21
  • Connection Type: FTP or FTPS (also known as “FTP over SSL”)

Keeping backups is one of the most important things you can do to ensure you don’t lose emails that are saved in your mail program and important contact information.

Once Outlook is closed, right-click on the data file and hit copy.

In this same window, you will right-click and choose new>folder. You can name this folder anything you wish, backups is easily identifiable.

Once you have created this folder you will double click the folder icon to enter the folder and paste your file by right-clicking and then choosing paste.
