Chapter 16. Information Bays (i-bays)

• html: When an i-bay is accessed using a web browser (via http), the user will enter the html directory and the web browser will automatically

open the index ﬁle (usually index.html or index.htm) in that i-bay. In other words, it will display the web page associated with that i-bay. This

means you can have different web sites running on your server, each associated with a speciﬁc i-bay. This can be very powerful and useful, as you

will see in the upcoming examples.

Generally, you can think of the html directory as the place to put all ﬁles, images and documents that you would like to be accessible through the

web. The files directory is for all ﬁles that you want people to access through FTP or regular ﬁle sharing. Note that you can have as many

subdirectories as you wish underneath either html or files but you cannot create additional directories at the top level of the i-bay.

Note: If an i-bay is set for no public access via web or anonymous ftp, users connecting to the i-bay through Windows or Macintosh ﬁle sharing will

see only the contents of the files directory. However, if the i-bay settings are later changed to allow public access through web or anonymous ftp,

users will then see the top-level directory of the i-bay with the three subdirectories of html, files and cgi-bin. The items they were used to

seeing before will now be found in the files directory.

16.2. Accessing the i-bays

You can access the contents of an i-bay using a web browser, Windows ﬁle sharing / AppleTalk, or FTP.

• accessing an i-bay using a web browser (via http): To view an i-bay using a browser, enter "www.yourdomain.xxx/i-bayname". For example,

the URL for Samson’s Farms i-bay is "www.tofu-dog.com/samfarms". Assuming you are entitled to access this i-bay, you will see the index.html

page in the html directory in the Samson’s Farms i-bay. If a password is required to see the contents of the i-bay, a password dialog box will

appear before the contents of the i-bay are served to the web browser.

• accessing an i-bay via Windows ﬁle sharing and AppleTalk: To access the i-bay using Windows ﬁle sharing or AppleTalk, simply navigate to

the server over your network browser (in Windows, this would be via "Network Neighborhood") and select the i-bay you want to enter from those

appearing. You can only access an i-bay in this way if you are on the local network.

• accessing an i-bay via the FTP server: To access the i-bay using FTP, you use your FTP client to connect to your server and use the i-bay name

as the login id. If the i-bay requires a password, you will need to enter the i-bay password as well. If you are using a command-line or graphical

FTP client, you will usually be prompted for the login username and password. If you are using a web browser, you will need to enter a FTP URL.

This will be in one of the following forms, depending on whether or not a password is required:

ftp://ibayname@ftp.domainname

ftp://ibayname:password@ftp.domainname

Warning

Be aware that FTP transmits all passwords in the clear without encryption and can therefore be a security risk. If you are

concerned about security, we suggest you consider the scp "secure copy" command associated with ssh as an alternative to FTP.

Note that users accessing the i-bay via FTP in this manner are not able to upload ﬁles to the i-bay. They can only download ﬁles from the i-bay to

their client.

It is possible to upload ﬁles using FTP, but to do so you must login to the server with a valid user name, not the i-bay name. That user account

must be a member of the group that has been given write permission for the i-bay (conﬁgured on the i-bay screen). You would then change to the

i-bay directory (using the ftp command "cd ../../ibays/ibayname"). You will now be able to upload ﬁles from your FTP client to the appropriate

directories.

In the next few sections, we will take a look at some examples of i-bays that have been created by our hypothetical catering and event-planning

company, The Pagan Vegan, to demonstrate their capabilities.

16.3. Creating an i-bay

No matter how you are going to use an i-bay, the process of creating an i-bay starts by clicking on the "Click here" link at the top of the Information

Bays panel in the server manager. You will be presented with the form shown in the image below.
