How to use an FTP client?

Instructions for using FTP clients vary, depending on which client you wish to use. We recommend FileZilla, which has a very intuitive interface and is freely distributed.
  • You can check the FileZilla tutorial for detailed instructions on how to use the FileZilla FTP client software.
  • Another popular FTP client which you may use is Cute FTP & Core FTP

How to use FileZilla FTP client

Click Here to Download File Zilla FTP Software

Once you have the FileZilla client downloaded and activated on your computer, enter the domain name in the address field (you can also use the server's IP address). The username and the password you need to type in are the same as the ones you use to log in to your cPanel. The FTP port is 21 and is filled in automatically.

 

Click Quickconnect and the file listing will appear. Find the www (it is a symbolic link to public_html) directory and double click on it.

 

Then, select the files to be uploaded and drag-and-drop them under the www folder. Wait for the transfer to be completed.
