It does not like that either... I see Webmin is installed on the server but get anything run is proving futile. Whoever manages the server now, says I do have superuser access... but not even sudo is working.

Im connecting via sftp.

Do you advise upgrading the webserver ? Or must I get in contact with the current admin ?

Can you suggest any reading material ? So I can educate myself with the basics and have a solid foundation.

Thank you for your time.
