SFTP vs FTP

Posted by Gretish on July 28th, 2010

As we all know that we can FTP a file onto the server using tools like Filezilla and WinSCP. Moreover both these tools have same features and reasonably same price. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol is the easiest way to exchange files from one host to another using TCP/IP based network. You can use FTP with a simple command line interface or with a commercial program. The main advantage of FTP is it is easily accessible, inexpensive and it is very easy to use.

Primary disadvantage of FTP especially in the current compliance environment is the it lacks in security reasons. Whenever an user opens a FTP session the entire transmission between the host and the user is made in plain text. So using packet sniffing technology anyone can capture the sensitive data such as username and password. This allows the malicious intruder to compromise the system easily.

SFTP is a secure form of FTP. SSH file transfer protocol or SFTP is a network protocol that provides file transfer and manipulation. When using SSH’s SFTP instead of FTP, the entire login session including transmission of username and password is encrypted. Hence it is not possible for the intruder to hack the password from the system that uses SSH/SFTP session.

Connecting the server through SFTP is relatively same as that of standard FTP. The only difference is that in SFTP you instruct your FTP client to connect to your SSH port rather than the FTP port. In many cases FTP defaults to port 21 while SFTP defaults to Port 22. Suppose if your FTP client doesn’t allow to custom port numbers, you can connect it through sftp://hioxindia.com where hioxindia.com is the address you need to access.

WinSCP and Filezilla are the most popular tools that support SFTP. There may be hundred of other tools that support this but the above mentioned two are highly recommended. Probably a question arises in every one’s mind that “Which web hosts supports this SFTP? Any hosts that offers SSH to its customers also offers this SFTP as this two seem to go hand-in-hand. If web host offers SSH, it’s definitely worth at least trying to connect to your server through SFTP when uploading and downloading files.

Drupal Hosting

Posted by Gretish on July 27th, 2010

Drupal is an open source content management system (CMS). It is free to use, and allows you to bring together a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a lot of content just in one place. Because of this popularity there are many web hosting companies providing this drupal hosting. But the real task is to find the best one in this competitive environment.

When searching for best Drupal hosting company for your site you need to be careful. Just look how much experience they got in handling drupal websites as well as their inline reputation. Dont just look at the package size the host is offering. There are also a few different types of accounts you will find for your Drupal site. The most economical and basic is known as shared hosting. These packages are normally very less and a great way to get your site started.

The most essential aspect is that since Drupal is written in PHP, you will need a hosting package that supports PHP. This shouldn’t be a big problem since almost every package out there does this. As far as web server type, you can use either IIS (known as Windows hosting) or Apache. Just keep in mind that search engine friendly URLs typically work better in an Apache environment. Drupal usually stores all of it’s data in a database so it would be better if  you choose potential host that supports either MySQL or PostgreSQL.

So when you are looking for Drupal hosting just think what your site needs in the future than what it needs now. So, choose for the hosting provider that offer all these options and provide a good relationship with you.
