How do I upload my websites files
and what directory do I use?
The easiest method of uploading files to your website is via the File Manager
tool, located to the right of your domain under Website > Sites & Email. The file manager links directly to the web directory, where you need to upload your HTML files. Upload your index.html and associated files via the Upload File tool. If you need to create subdirectories use the Create New Directory tool.
If you are using an FTP program to upload your site, you will need to locate the web directory manually. The path to the web directory is:
../../web
Note: the .. stands for "go up one directory" In other words, ../../web instructs the FTP client to go up two directories and then back down to the web directory. This is the same default directory used in the file manager above.
Useful FTP Tips:
- If you are behind a firewall remember to select "use Passive Mode" under the advanced settings of your FTP client.
- If you are using iBizCMS.com, DreamWeaver, GoLive, NetObjects, or other web publishing tools, you typically need to specify that you want to upload your content into the following directory: ../../web.
