How to Upload a Website
Written on August 12, 2007 – 7:51 pm | by admin
You will need to use an ftp client to upload your website. You can read a simple tutorial on how to use FTP here.
Free FTP clients available to simply upload your website files:
- SmartFTP (Windows) http://www.smartftp.com/
- Cyberduck (Mac) http://cyberduck.ch/
- FileZilla (Mac or Windows) http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
When you login to your account with FTP, you will see a folder named ‘mainwebsite_html’, go to this folder (it’s path is actually ‘/var/www/html/’ iin case you need to know) and save your website files there.
By default, your website already contains 3 items:
- awstats folder (don’t delete this if you want the website stats to work)
- images folder (contains images for index.html below)
- index.html file (the default page, gives some basic information about accessing your account)
You will probably want to change at least the index.html file first, so that visitors do not get to see a default page.
