To publish your website (ie. upload the files from your local computer)
to your account/server, you need to use one of the following options:
FTP application
There are many tools available for use.
These are just a few options where you can download and install them to your computer:
WS-FTP - http://www.ipswitch.com
CuteFTP - http://www.cuteftp.com/products/cuteftp/index.shtml
SmartFTP - http://www.smartftp.com
Before uploading through your FTP software, it requires the following details.
FTP SERVER NAME: ftp.yoursite.co.za or Server IP (Can be found in your welcome email)
USERNAME: Your control panel username (Can be found in your welcome email)
PASSWORD: password
UPLOAD DIRECTORY: public_htm
Note: Replace yoursite.co.za with your actual domain name
Your home page must be placed in the "public_html" directory and must be named
"index.htm", "index.html" or "index.php". This is the file
that the server looks for when someone types your URL:
http://www.yoursite.co.za in their Web browser.
Microsoft FrontPage (http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/default.htm)
If you designed your site using Microsoft Front Page, you can directly publish the site using Front page.
To upload to your site, you need to know these few things:
FRONTPAGE SITE: http://www.yoursite.co.za (Can be found in your welcome email)
FRONTPAGE USERNAME: Your control panel user name (Can be found in your welcome email)
PASSWORD: Password
Notes:
Replace yoursite.co.za with your actual domain name.
FrontPage will not work until your domain DNS propagated to our
server. It may take 24- 48 hrs for full DNS propagation after you update
your DNS.
cPanel File Manager
You can also upload files using the cPanel File Manager.
1. Login to cpanel ( http://www.yoursite.co.za/cpanel )
2. Click on the 'File Manager' Icon
3. You should see a list of files and folders.
4. Click on the "public_html" folder icon to view the files in that folder.
5. Upload your files to that folder using the "upload files" link.
