Uploading Content Using FTP

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, a method of transferring files over the Internet. To upload files via FTP, you will need a special program called an FTP client. FileZilla is a free and reliable FTP client. You can download it here: https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client

Of course, you are free to use a different FTP client if you choose. To connect to an FTP server, you need the following information:

• FTP server address. The FTP address should be ftp://your-domain-name.com, where your-domain-name.com is your site’s Internet address.
• FTP username. 
• FTP password. 

These details can be found on the hosting details email that is usually sent to you when you add a new domain

To publish a website using FTP:

1. Connect to your subscription on the server with an FTP client program, using your FTP account username and password.

   Enable the passive mode if you are behind a firewall. Refer to your FTP client documentation to learn how to enter passive mode.

2. Upload the files and directories of your site to the httpdocs directory. If you use CGI scripts, place them in the cgi-bin directory.
3. Close your FTP session.
