i have an wordpress website on my server but i don't own the domain anymore.
I can access to this site using total commander or filezilla but i can't access that page using google chrome. I want to copy that website. Is there any way to do that?
Yes, you can do few things like:
Files: From the FileZilla, download all Files
Database: From PhpMyAdmin if you have access download database, if you do not have that, then as you have FTP access, upload a lightweight mysql manager like this ONE file, https://www.adminer.org/ , upload it , and then give login for the database. You can get database login info from wp-config.php which you can access via FTP. And then EXPORT mysql database dump...
New Domain: Once you have both files and database, you can load them to any server or WAMP/LAMP on your local pc, and then do search replace for the URL from old domain to new domain like using , this awesome script: https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB
And it will make your site functional on new URL/Domain from existing site files and database.

I'm having troubles moving my current website to a new host. The website is hosted on a www.website.org/wordpress and I need to move the entire website to a new server to which I have access via ssh and ftp.
The plan is the usual, backup all files and the database and then move the files to the new server, where the website will be hosted in a new address. But the tutorials that I've found use cPanel or other management tools that I don't think that I have access to.
The other method is to try and copy every file from my current webhost using ftp, but I don't know how to connect to the website and copy all files.
Somehow I'm having problems downloading the files from my website to my computer to move them to the new server.
Is there a simple step that I'm missing on how to log into the website to copy the file structure from wordpress?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
Through ssh you should try the scp command.
You can read more in this explicative answer How to copy a folder from remote to local using scp?.
EDIT
In your case would be:
scp -r user#sourcewebsite.com:/path/to/wp user#destinationwebsite.com:/home/user/Desktop/
Let's check that source and destination folder paths actually exist.
I made an ASP.NET web site using visual studio 2012. I registered a free domain and now I need to upload the project using for example FileZilla. Can you tell me which files exctly should I upload and do I need to set a starting page in my project or I need a Default.aspx page in it. I also have an MSSQL database. Any suggestions how to upload it?
If you can publish your code using this - right click on project , select publish, choose filesystem , and then save published code to target file system and then copy that directory to required domain using FileZilla. Also you can directly copy solution project , but it is recommended to host published code.
You can set startup page using web.config - Set Default Page in Asp.net
Regarding DB thing - you need to make sure, required domain has MSSQL, if that has, then copy required DB and attach to DB server, extract connection string ( DB server address, DB name , credential) and update that in web.config of hosted website.
I created a new Wordpress/MySql website on Windows Azure. Can I download the entire website with database to host locally on my machine?
I can use FTP to download website files, but what about DB and other configuration if there is any.
Yes, you can.
Connect through FTP do copy Wordpress file. Open wp-config.php and take the connection string. After that, you can connect through Mysql using Worchbench and export database.
I have one web site and I want to upload it on server and i also want to upload the ms sql database with that web pages. Please tell me how to upload it on web server....
This is a rather generic question because there could be a lot of different problems and differences, but generally, you would take a backup of your server first. Here is some general information on that:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187510.aspx
Then log into your hosting provider, create a database using their tools, and restore your database backup to that new hosted database.
Next you would change where your database config in your files is pointing to the new database, then use an ftp client like Filezilla to ftp into your web server. The hosting provider should be able to give you the username and password. Upload the web pages / files to the public directory (usually /public or /htdocs or something along those lines).
What i want to do:
Develop a Wordpress-based website with a local Wordpress installation (and xampp).
Migrate this developed website on my webserver.
What's the problem:
After putting the website on the webserver each link in the navigation references to "127.0.0.1/wordpress/...".
I'm not even able to login to the Wordpress Backend on the webserver, because the "login.php" (or something) is also referenced on the localhost"
My Question:
Do any of you know how I can change this permalinks to the URL of the webserver the website is actually deployed on?
best regards
matt
edit:
Another thing that i noticed is, that although I changed the URL in the wp_posts table manually, this database entries are changed by wordpress, so next time, after opening the website, the URLs in the database contains the 127.0.0.1 part
When migrating the database from your local machine to a remote server, you should export your mysql database that is on your local machine to a file. Then perform a search and replace changing "127.0.0.1/wordpress/..." to "www.yourdomain.com/path/to/wordpress" and then import that file to your new mysql database.
Since you have already moved everything over, you can just export the database tables from your remote server to a file, do the search and replace on that, and reimport it. When exporting the database make sure to check "Add Drop Table / Drop View".
It's very simple, do everything you need in local, when you're ready to deploy, export your local database from phpMyAdmin, open the file and do "search and replace" your local path with your server path.
Chnage the connection string inside config.php and you're done.
