FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a fast and reliable way to upload or download multiple files at once, especially if you are making frequent updates to a large website. We recommend using a free client like FileZilla.
Step 1: Gather Your FTP Credentials
You can find these in your welcome email or in cPanel:
-
FTP Server/Host:
ftp.yourdomain.comor your server IP address. -
Username: (Usually your cPanel username)
-
Password: (Your cPanel password)
-
Port:
21
Step 2: Connect via FileZilla
-
Open FileZilla.
-
Enter the Host, Username, Password, and Port at the top of the window.
-
Click "Quickconnect."
Step 3: Upload Files
-
On the left side of the screen (Local Site), navigate to the folder on your computer containing your website files.
-
On the right side (Remote Site), navigate to the
public_htmlfolder. -
Drag and drop the files from the left side to the right side. FileZilla will show you the progress of the upload.
