ResPecT My Authoritah Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 For premium members you guys should offer this with more pay of course. Alot of people want to use your cloud but hesitate because the lack of ftp access... for example i cant use postloop nor forum wheel to upstart my forums cause i need to upload a file.

AndyF Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'd think if there was a pressing need to upload a file or have an edit performed (say for example the client wishes to add some lines to a .htaccess file) then I'd recommend a support ticket to be opened and a technician may be able to assist with this...

I dont know what the big deal was... if would have let me upload the postloop file and the forum wheel file i would jave kept the cloud... It really sucked cause i needed those files and he wouldnt do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Hello, I'm sorry for any confusion here, our cloud communities only allow our software, we don't allow any stand alone php files or this party scripts. You would need to create whatever is needed as a plugin or application for our software in this case. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comet chat was not a plugin but allowed. that is the same for postloop. I hope you guys reconsider.. so i can use your cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 To clarify, we don't allow the stand alone version of cometchat, they do however have a cloud version for our cloud customers here if anyone would like to use it https://www.cometchat.com/ipb-cloud-chat Thank you again.

Simon Woods Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 As a CitC customer, I'm not interested in letting people do whatever they want. I want IPS to keep a tight grip on everything, with organised systems used to integrate with CitC, rather than a bunch of random customers who could do who-knows-what and risk the stability and security of my site.

Cause just because you guys didnt upload it for me you lost me as acustomer for cloud services. the rules/terms & conditions are clear given from IPS as well Rhett has given more often the information that it is not possible - because for every file what you upload to a cloud system as offered from IPS can decrease stability, security and performance - every admin of an own server knows this as well every hoster. And a check of every 3rd party file what you want to upload trough IPS is more then to much work - cloud prices would increase into a level what nobody cannot pay for better you look for a own hoster and install then there everything what you like also with IPS system where is a lot possible you will find a lot of managed systems at the market IPS cloud service is for clients perfect, who are happy with offers from market place as it is, or what is in ACP edits possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Lindy Posted August 10, 2016 Management Share Posted August 10, 2016 The cloud service is not traditional web "hosting." If you have the need to still upload files, hacks, etc. outside of IPS4, you'd be better off using a traditional host. Our service is geared as a Software as a Service and providing FTP, etc. is dramatic and unnecessary. We provide a rock solid, turnkey platform. One of the only requirement is anything you run must be installed via the AdminCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You the CEO.. but im just saying.. by not allowing the upload.. which would not affect and kind of performance to the site.. You lost me as a customer to the cloud... There are other people who would like ftp access so I figured I speak for everyone and say somthing about it thats all. But anyways.. thanks for the input. Sorry guys I tried.

We have a rock solid platform and a large part of that beyond our experience and investment in infrastructure is because we control the environment and don't allow tinkering or outside, non-IPS influences. Frankly, we're ok losing the market that wants FTP as historically, they're unfortunately the ones that introduce stability problems for other clients. We are aiming to be a Software as a Service (SaaS) provider and not a web host. I appreciate you giving the CiC consideration and sorry it wasn't a better fit for you.
