Although not strictly speaking a direct part of ClanForge™ (at least not part of the ClanForge™ interface that the rest of this document covers), it is important that we mention that al the files available in the Downloads section of ClanForge™ are also available through a read only FTP.
To connect to the FTP you need only 3 things. The address, username and password. they are as follows:
Address: clanforge.multiplay.co.uk
Username: your ClanForge™ login name
Password: Your ClanForge™ password
You will also need some form of FTP software and know how to use it.
The Following screen shots show FTP access using the standard windows command window.
To begin, log into the FTP using the ftp address, and your login/password details.
Once successfully logged in, you will be presented with a folder called 'servers'. You will need to go into that folder.
From here, the way you access your files is organised in two ways. Firstly, you can view your servers by their ServerID number, or by a much friendlier server name. The issue here is that the server name is likely to change over time, whereas the ServerID will never change.
If you are unsure of your ServerID, you can find it displayed in the Details section of the Servers page.
Personally, I would recommend always using the ServerID, but that it merely a preference. For the purposes of this example, that is what we shall use.
As you can see from the above picture, now that we have entered the 'by_serverid' folder, all the servers this account has access to are listed. Each folder is the ServerID for a unique server that this account controls.
Having chosen which server we want to get files for, we now enter the folder for that server.
All the files that are available for download are arranged in folders determined by the type of download they are.
For the purpose of this example, we enter the 'Logs' folder. Here we can finally see all the server logs that we can download for this particular server. This of course does not include Punkbuster logs which are in their own folder.
