Executive and Corporate (E&C) Technical Support: Administrator's Guide
Executive and Corporate (E&C) Administrator's Guide
This section provides basic instructions for the majority of the common tasks associated with E&C
Server administration. Because the E&C are designed to function like free standing UNIX
servers, additional information about many of the utilities and commands covered here can be found online or in
UNIX manuals.
E&C user accounts grant specific people access to services such as FTP, Email, and shell,
depending on the permissions of the account.
The UNIX Shell is a command line interface to the VPS which provides a fast, powerful tool for experienced
users and Administrators.
FTP is the standard method for moving files between computers. The ProFTPd server on your VPS is flexible and
powerful.
The configurable sendmail server is a reliable tool for sending and receiving Email. Your E&C allows you
to manage Email aliases, mailing lists, and anti spam tools, as well as Web based Email clients and more.
Web content is served using the popular Apache Web Server. Apache is easy to configure for multiple domain
hosting, and can be extended using modules to allow support for PHP, databases, Java, and more.
The FreeBSD Ports collection is a library of programs that are already configured to run on the server. There are
a large number of different tools available in the ports.
The Imanager control panel allows you to perform many important administrative tasks from an easy-to-use Web based
environment.
