[qwq]

thx

[kat]

Get this:

http://download.simplemachines.org/index.php?thanks;filename=smf_2-0-rc5_upgrade.zip

Dearchive it, then read "readme.html".

Simple enough?

Read my sig, before you start, though.

[qwq]

thx and yeea its backed up ^^

[kat]

Good man!

[qwq]

well i cant cuz it says that this isnt the ftp server
i use 000webhost btw

[kat]

Can you elucidate?

From what little you've told me, you've simply entered the wrong FTP details.

[qwq]

i use web install
i entered details but it always says ftp server is wrong but i use the one that host company gave

btw how to load backup>?

[kat]

To make backups and restore them, I find the best way is to go to your site's CPanel>backups.

You can backup/restore both your full home directory (Your site) and the database, from there.

dude
can i give u acces to my account in the host server
you'll have all the ftp password and all
and you do this for me?

plz man

[kat]

You've confused me, now.

You asked "How?" and I told you.

A few posts later, you say "i use web install".

Why not try what I suggested?

[qwq]

ill explain
u told me use read me file
in this file they told use web install
so i tried
understand?

[kat]

Oh, heck...

I just read that, myself.

Sorry, man. That read_me is quite badly written and I hadn't realised.

The section headed "Upload files method 1: Using webinstall.php" is all very well. BUT, there doesn't appear to be a "Upload files method 2: Using FTP".

It's just labelled "Uploading the files".

Ignore that section and go to "Uploading the files".

[qwq]

ok thx
look i try do what they say but filezilla cant connect to my ftp
and i use the details the 000webhost gave me

[kat]

I couldn't even begin to figure that one out, I'm afraid.

Only your host can sort that one out.

By the way, if you use Filezilla, make sure that "Transfer type" (Under the "Transfer" menu) is set to "binary", NOT "auto".

[qwq]

in the method 2 they want us to upload the update to the froum directory right?
so i try that using file zilla
but the file zilla cant connect to my ftp server

[kat]

Yeah, I hear what you're saying.

The FTP details that you're supplying it must be wrong.

As I said, only your host can tell you what those details are.

Or, you can check them, by going to your site's CPanel (Assuming you have one) and checking the section labelled "Files", where "FTP accounts" is to be found.

dude look at the pm ill send u

If Filezilla is unable to connect to your FTP server, you need to contact your host and ask them for the details for FTP access.
