I am going to give this a shot.
From a filesystem point of view:

Maximum number of files per directory: 216 - 1 (65,535)
Maximum file size: 2 GiB - 1 without LFS, 4 GiB - 1 with

I had the same problem, I found a number of solutions in various forums, none of which helped. My credentials were OK but they were being rejected; they worked in Filezilla.
Somewhere I found a reference to a small plugin called 'SSH SFTP Updater Support', which fixed my problem. After installing this the option for SFTP is added and you can choose SSH2 ...

You are probably seeing a difference in line-endings. When transferring a file in ASCII/Text mode (as opposed to "Binary mode") then most FTP clients will convert/normalise line-endings to the OS being transferred to.
On Classic Mac OS (9.x and earlier) the line-ending char is simply \r (ASCII 13), on Mac OS X this changed to \n (ASCII 10), on Linux it is \...

Users that don't "ssh" can login to cpanel if their host supports it and use the File Manager there. It will delete files a lot faster. Uploading files over http also seems to be faster in some cases.

After the connection is established, if there are hidden files not being shown, on the bottom of the remote panel itself, I noticed there's a small text regarding the number of hidden files. When I clicked this text, those files showed up.
After finding Cʜᴜɴ's answer, I also tried the shortcut he mentioned:
CTRL + ALT + H
It actually hides the files if ...

No it's not possible. GitHub Pages is for intended for Git users and projects, it is not intended for people looking for a free web host. To use GitHub you must use a GIT compatible client or the terminal.

Its likely that they do not want to spend the time considering all of the possible security issues, so your request was denied. Network Admins are under a lot of pressure to maintain a secure network against unknown threats.
You should look into using a server or service that allows you to connect in via port 80 or 443, but will then forward your traffic ...

When you create a FTP user account in cPanel you assign it a ownership directory, if that folder happens to be a child directory of the master account then you won't be able to go higher. e.g
/home/your-username/public_html/new-user/ Will not be able to view the parent public_html.
This is a security messure and something you shouldn't need to turn off. ...

Can .htaccess be changed through FTP after it was edited in WordPress in a way that breaks the site?
Absolutely. Your .htaccess file is located in the root directory of the website and can be accessed via FTP.

I think you’ll find that those are IP addresses for Google Cloud Platform, meaning that it’s not Google themselves but third parties running their own code on Google’s platform. So Google isn’t trying to hack you, it’s selling computing services to the public, some of whom are hackers.

It isn't a virus or some sort of FTP compression.
It could be a couple of things going on:
For example, if the server is running Linux and your desktop is running Windows it is likely that your server and desktop are set to display file sizes differently.
In some operating systems, file sizes tend to be expressed mebibytes (e.g. 1 GiB = 1,024 MiB) while ...

If you can open access via ssh between your servers, then using rysnc to transfer the data would be much faster than ftp. Rsync automatically transfers data in batches and if you have to run the transfer multiple times, it only has to transfer the data that has changed.
Unfortunately, rsync does not work over ftp but this question on serverfault suggests ...

Plesk is pretty good about setting up the proper security settings between domain accounts and subdomains, including FTP access.
Many sites do grant FTP access to 3rd parties that they work with because there's not as much risk with FTP, providing that root access isn't permitted, which can be set in Plesk (as it seems you already have done).
I would ...

FTP is an ugly protocol because it uses dynamic ports, which either needs a wide open firewall or specific configuration within the FTP clients. Also it sends login information in clear by default and the encrypted version FTPS produces even more problems with firewalls. These things together make firewall admins hate the protocol and they better deny ...

Most panels have a File Manager feature that will allow you to upload, download and edit any file on your server. It is very much like a web based FTP client. I know for sure cPanel and Plesk have this tool, so I would assume other will too (since most panels this days try to mimic cPanel and Plesk).
Keep in mind though that if you have to upload/download ...

Very similar question on StackOverflow here
If you're looking to find the webroot of your application running its

Mate, you are in your web root.
wp-admin
wp-content
wp-includes
and rest of the files are the root directory of your WordPress.
Level above are rest of the pages on server. From what I see, you just have privilege to access that folder and that's it.

.ftpquota is a file used by your FTP deamon on the server, if you want it deleted, you need to disable the FTP server running on your hosting.

Yes. Don't transfer UTF-16 files in ASCII mode; use binary mode to avoid data corruption here.
FTP's transformation of \r\n to \n will corrupt the remainder of the file if it happens to contain the single character ഊ or the sequence ㄍਰ or many others of the same class.
Please note that this is not an intelligent transformation, and the reverse ...

Yes, this will cause clients to re-download when the asset has expired a minute later. This runs under the assumption you've switched e-tags off (see below).
The downside is people are now burning up more bandwidth on your site and your page speed will tank. This will at worst cost you more and at best still cause a poor user experience. If someone spends 2 ...

It's really worth mentioning here that you can rename entire directories instantly and you can rename them into different paths which is usually a good enough solution.
Create a directory called "junk" in the root folder, then drag/move (rename) all directories you want to get rid of into that. Doing this is instant so you can then continue working and in ...

Sadly without running a brute force which I can't advise on you can not since cPanel is normally setup to use ProFTPD and PureFTP both of these servers used hashed passwords and they are not viewable in any form - if it's your server just reset the password.

Ask customer to backup and download the old site (Very important as a legal stand point).
Look at Joomla's SQL details within configuration.php and take note of details.
