Where and How to upload files on the server using Ftp ?



Solution:

Generally, an FTP program will ask you for the following information:

Host/Server Name: this can be your domain name or your IP number.

User ID/Name : the FTP user name.
Password : the FTP password.
Initial Remote directory/folder: this should be /www.
Initial Local folder : whatever you want (this specifies where on your computer it will look for files)

Once you have established a connection with your domain on our server, it is usually a very simple process to upload and download files to and from the server.

Note :ALL files must be uploaded to your www directory in your account.

There are quite a few free FTP programs that you can use that are available online to download.

A few popular FTP clients are:

WS_FTP (for Windows users)
Cute FTP (for Windows users)
SmartFTP(for windowa user)
