Ok so this is my first attempt at setting up a server, so forgive me for what I am sure are obvious questions/mistakes.

I have setup an Ubuntu 10.04 disk image (following the tutorial) and it appears to be up and running (I get the "It works" message when visiting the public IP). I also setup ISPConfig, which is up and running. So I have my first web server up and running. Great!

Here are my questions. How do I access the site via FTP (without a domain- just the public IP)? I've set up an FTP account with the config, but I don't know where to point the FTP client to login. (I said these were noobie questions)

Also I can't figure out where to go to find phpmyadmin (which I installed as part of the ISPConfig setup).

Anyone who can help a bewildered coder with no Linux background would be a total lifesaver.

With either the IP address or the default lixxx-xxx.members.linode.com found on the 'Remote Access' tab of the Linode Manager.


Avoid FTP is possible, take a look at scp or sftp.


Make sure you have phpmyadmin properly secured, otherwise it will be just a matter of time before your linode is compromised.

If you can teach yourself to get by without the control panel (ISPConfig), you'll be much better off. Checked out http://library.linode.com/ if you haven't already.
