how can i restore back all the files/folders in the cpanel? i kinda deleted everything thinking that they were defaults and were of no use... i restored the public_html at least... what else was there?

also... if i set up another ftp account, how can i upload files into it? how to view it? how to... well, basically use it?

and also... is there a http file manager (non-javascript) here that i can use? what i really want to do is to use this hosting just like 0catch.com and 250free.com <-- 2 of which i am using currently, but not enough space/bandwidth, and the ADS, etc!!!

btw, SO MANY FEATURES AVAILABLE in this hosting!!! though i havent tried most of them, i LOVE it!! xP GREAT THANKS to the admin!!

First of all, thanks for that compliment "ImmortalRonin".

Let me clarify your doubts step by step:

If you had taken a full backup and not only the home directory backup, you can restore it from the same place from where you took the backup. i.e. the backup/restore area in the cpanel. The full area also contains public_html, public_ftp, www, tmp, etc, mail, .trash and .fantasticodata which must never be deleted.

also... if i set up another ftp account, how can i upload files into it? how to view it? how to... well, basically use it?

You can do that from the ftp manager of your cpanel account. All the info regarding how to access it and the username and passwords can be seen there itself

and also... is there a http file manager (non-javascript) here that i can use? what i really want to do is to use this hosting just like 0catch.com and 250free.com <-- 2 of which i am using currently, but not enough space/bandwidth, and the ADS, etc!!!

If you want any such script, you can find and install it yourself from http://www.hotscripts.com
I believe you will find a script to suit your needs.

I hope that info was enough. Do contact if you need anymore help.

thanks for the reply

well, i have deleted them, and now i just restored back the folders. but can you tell me the definitions of these folders and their uses? like what is the differnece between the public_html and the public_ftp? and i have no idea what are the rest that you have named
