PSMDanny - Rock God

Have three hosting accounts right now, cutting down to one. All worked well up until one dropped on me last week after a server upgrade. Couldn't figure out what the heck was going on as I had everything ticking along quite nicely, done this a dozen or more times, for others as well! Thought I had tried everything. Last night I reached out to the good PSMDanny, the man with more server experience than us all. @PSMDanny - Thank you so much for your professional, prompt (almost instantaneous) fix. Turns out my file permissions were all over the place, swear I checked most folders but seems I did not. Didn't do anything different this time and reckon I could do this in my sleep. Turns out no. PSMDanny can though. PSMDanny does so much behind the scenes that we sometimes take him and his kind for granted. Now I have to take another bottle to Vegas. How many carry on bags can I have? No more Cyberduck for me, Filezilla all the way. Will be sad to see the wee happy duck in my dock but off he must go. Cheers bro, your services are so much appreciated it. If anyone ever needs a professional install of the BT Server, Danny is your man. A superb addition to the team, I seldom reach out to anyone and as one of the originals and part of the BT team this man can be trusted with your gran and your precious things. Ps Yes, I am blaming a duck.

Ha! Love that phrase, will try and fit into meeting tomorrow. 'No Mr *****, I'm glad you stopped by from the corporate office, I know when I see you appear there's gold in them that hills.' Actually, might not work with the person I have in mind. Works for Danny though. Proper smart guy and a gent to boot.

Hi All, Thanks so much for the very kind words, very much appreciated! Looking forward to that extra bottle, haha! Was really happy to help you out and glad I could...!! @SmugWimp: I (sometimes) wish I could be more and more often on the forums but I'm doing (so) much behind the scenes that it prevents me to do so but I really like what I do. Hope you don't blame me.... But luckily there are users like you all guys who help other users with other burning questions and issues! Big hurray and standing ovation!! Best Regards, Danny

As a side note. What sort of file permissions should we be running. I have been all over the place with different ftp clients. Seems like I get different responses from different clients.

Seems my CyberDucking friend needed additional permissions to just bleeding do what I wanted. Just the usual brother as far as I know. Files as 644 and folders 755. I never did the chmod from command line and all looked well but believe the wee duck lied to me.

@Danny I completely understand, and could not/would not feel badly. Once work starts, you work. And I know a lot of our improvements have your name on them. I hope everyone realizes when we don't 'see you' it's because you're busy improving the way things work. I certainly do. Cheers! -- Smug
