New FTP Information

If you use FTP to upload image files (or other files) to your website, you need to know about a change that is necessary, now that OmegaNet has moved its servers to a new data center.

To make your transfers more secure, we are now using SECURE File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). This means a small change to the host name you enter when you use FileZilla (or other FTP client). The old way looked like this:

ftp://images.cameoez.com

The NEW way looks like this:

sftp://username@images.cameoez.com

where “username” is the actual Admin Console username for your site.

It should connect without a port number, but if it doesn’t, try entering “22” in the Port blank.

Note the configuration of the Host with sftp://*username*@images.cameoez.com

If you have trouble with “Quick Connect” you can create a connection by going to File > Site Manager. Click “New Site” and enter your information as outlined above. It will save your information, but it will require you to enter your password each time you connect.

Don’t Lose Your Google Analytics

Google will be turning off the old “UA-” Universal Analytics format analytics properties July 1. OmegaNet has, several months ago, converted all the analytics for the sites we host to the new “G-” Analytics 4 system.

If you have another website managed elsewhere, I wanted to be sure you are aware of this. Contact your webmaster to be sure they have migrated to the new Analytics 4 properties for your site.

Below is a message from Google with some relevant links.

Hello Google Analytics user,

On July 1, 2024, Google Analytics 4 properties will have fully replaced Universal Analytics properties, as previously announced. From that date, Google will begin turning off all Universal Analytics services and Universal Analytics APIs, which means Universal Analytics properties will be inaccessible through the Google Analytics front-end and APIs. If you haven’t completely migrated to Google Analytics 4 properties, follow the migration guide to start making the switch today.

Exporting your data
To maintain access to data from your Universal Analytics property, you should download or export your data now. If this isn’t done through one of the methods provided in the Google Analytics Help Center, your data will be permanently deleted by Google and won’t be recoverable. If you intend to use the BigQuery integration to export historical data from your Universal Analytics 360 property, we strongly recommend initiating this immediately.
