| What is FTP? |
| File Transfer Protocol or FTP is used to transfer the files you create on your computer to your web server. Below are the two most popular programs for file transfers |
| |
How do I upload my site to your servers?
To upload your files with FTP, you will require FTP software.
We suggest WS_FTP or CuteFTP for Windows users or Fetch FTP for Mac users. |

How do I configure my FTP client?
Here is the information you will require to configure your FTP client.
Remember to insert your actual domain name when you see "yourdomain."
Host Name / Address : megaftpservers.com
User Name : yourdomain.com
Password : your WebsiteOS password |

Where do I put my files once I have connected with FTP?
Once connected, you will see the following directories:
/cgi-bin
/logs
/private
/public |
| Open the public directory, and upload all of your files to this folder. Your home page must be called one of the following: |
 |
index.htm |
|
index.html |
|
index.shtml |
|
index.phtml |
|
index.php |
|
index.php3 |
|
This is what a browser will look for when someone visits your domain.
Any files (other than CGI scripts) that will be viewed by the public must be placed in your "public" directory or a subdirectory under "public."
If you place files in a directory other than "public," only you will be able to access them. CGI scripts must be placed in your "cgi-bin" directory. |
