FTP is a commonly used way to upload websites onto web servers

This can be done from within Windows, Mac, or a Linux operating system,
or also by using an FTP client program.

FTP using an FTP client

Using an FTP client application is the preferred way of working with files over FTP
FTP clients can transfer large number of files, and give progress and time information

The FTP client program we recommend is FileZilla

The latest version is available to download for free from:

http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
(Windows, Mac and Linux)


We recommend that you read the official guide to using FileZilla which can be found here:

http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/FileZilla_Client_Tutorial_(en)

FTP using Windows

To open an FTP folder from within Windows you will need the FTP server and login details,
You should be able to enter your details into the location bar as follows:

ftp://username:password@ftp.server.com/


You would replace username with your FTP username,
replace password with your FTP password,
and replace ftp.server.com with the supplied FTP server address.

Here is an example of how it will look:



If the details are correct this should take you straight into the FTP folder for your website,

To change the files displayed on the actual website you will normally need to go inside a folder called either "web" or "httpdocs" depending upon the server.
