Hi, stupid question, I know... however I have locked my self out of my site because filezilla accitdently hammered my sftp with the incorrect password, now my linode server has blocked my ip. I can still get in through the ajax console; but what file to delete to remove the ban? Thanks if you can help.
OK----
So thanks for the feedback. For anyone else in this position here is the thread that can help you. So are you saying all my otther posts in pantheon are inappropriate?
Why not use this this thread to differentiate between those posts which are appropriate and those which are not.
SERVER TUNEABLES/TEMPLATES : Information was posted in earlier releases, and in earlier threads. This information appears to be of risk of being outdated. I clearly am not the first or only one to discuss this issue.
GD IMAGE TOPIC : The same information applies from above.
Varnish socket unavailable errors on 1.2 Is this an Pantheon Issue? As the thread stated the issue is mentioned in the Varnish Issue queue. I have found other issues which have errors related to pantheon questioned in the Pantheon Area.
Server Failure on setup http://groups.drupal.org/node/125169#comment-417949 Seems someone has the same exact issue. If there are two of use, perhaps there are many more ? I think his issue is very valid.
How to exclude certain js files and registration forms from caching? I think this is a very important issue, as does the developer of the Quiz module for educational purposes. The ability to exclude certain pages from caching... tell me how this is off-topic?
How can we count anonymous users using the counter in the top right corner of admin menu? in 10.04 an 1.2 ? Is it possible? You have yourself developed a module to adress this issue; wihist another member shared their strategy. I respect and appreciate both strategies and encourage others to share those to find the optimum solution for pantheon. Is that not the point of public open source forums?
Facebook statuses /micropublisher issues Again this is a very popular module for Drupal. And as we can see there is already another user who also was seeking help for this issue. Should we stifle all those who seek answers related pantheon?
is this script still usefull in pantheon to tune the mysql database? (tuning-primer.sh) I think this would logically be a nice part if it was included in pantheon from the beginning. How are users supposed to know what kind of treatment the database receives in Pantheon to keep it optimized? Isnt pantheon all about speed and efficiency? Howis this question inapproriate? How are users to know rather or not Pantheon already addresses this issue?
adding apc.rfc1867 = 1 to php.ini , does not clear error in status report in1.2
I can see I am not the first to bring uo this issue. However I am the first to adress it in the newer updated pantheon verion. Is it bad to have new information about current versions?
What is the proper path for solar in the pantheon.settings.php file?? $conf['apachesolr_path'] = '\default';is NOT WORKING IN 1.2
Also, there has been issues about this topic before mine. How is this irrelevant?
AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON I dont have time to summarize each and every post on here; but for all needs and intended purposes it appears to me that the signal to noise ration positive. I am human and new to server admin, so perhaps I may slip and ask a noob question here or there.
Generalizations / Labeling / Demonization / Vilification gives me the feeling of being locked out of an elite club. I know Pantheon is cutting edge. I respect that and thats exactly what I am looking for.
Perhaps you should make a closed group for the super elite developers whom find my posts to trivial? Somewhere away from the non-paying public? For those who dont roll with teams of super elite with big lines of credit?
I mean, actually it seems as though that pantheon is a collection of strategies that truly experianced system admins could implement themselves without an all in one pantheon solution. Varnish, APC, Memcache, etc...
So, I thought Pantheon was geared towards those who were not that advanced who were looking for an all in one implementation of all those features.
But, in actuality the point is, I have a hard time understanding your discomfort about my questions poosted, and do not intend to cause you any discomfort.

This question has nothing to
This question has nothing to do with pantheon and everything to do with server administration. You should ask this type of question in the Linode support queue. Asking for help with a host/server specific administration problem in a support queue for a Drupal project is inappropriate behavior.
Other folks and I have communicated with you privately in the past to let you know that your use of the Drupal support areas is occasionally inappropriate and now I'm saying it publicly: you need to learn to use these forums productively and respectfully or you may lose the right to use them.

RE your original question:
The file you want to delete is /etc/hosts.deny
You may want to add your ip to /etc/hosts.allow so this doesn't happen again.
