How do I upload my files to the
server?
Uploading through FTP: To upload files to your server through FTP
you will need an FTP software. If you have Windows then you may
already have a FTP software on your computer called WS FTP. If you
don't have a FTP software already installed on your computer you will
need to download one. I recommend FlashFXP which can be downloaded
and used for free for 30 days. Here are the basic steps to
uploading files through FTP.
1.) Connecting through FTP To
connect through FTP you will need to type in your domain
(ftp.youdomain.com), your hosting username, and your hosting password.
2.) Locate your files and directories The basic layout of a FTP
program is your hard drive files on the left side of the screen and your
server files on the right hand side of the screen. You will want
to find the file you want to upload from your hard drive on the left
side of the screen and then find the directory that you want to transfer
the file to on the right hand side of the screen.
3.)
Transferring a file Right click on the file you want to transfer and
then click "transfer". The file should then be uploaded to your
server.
Uploading through web console: A web console is
the control panel that you web hosting provider provides to its clients
that allows them to manage their domains. It is possible to upload
files to your website through this control panel. To do this
follow these steps:
1.) Login to your web console 2.)
Click the link that says "File Manager" 3.) Choose the
directory that you want to upload your files to 4.) Click
"Upload" 5.) Click "Browse" and locate the files you
want to upload on your hard drive 6.) Click "Submit"
