Uploading to the server through FTP requires special software. Most computer systems do not come with FTP clients, so you will have to download one from the Internet. We suggest: IBM/Windows: LeechFTP (free), WS_FTP LE (free), FTP Explorer (free), CuteFTP (free trial). Step 2: Connect to the server. All FTP clients need the following information: Username Password Address – This is the address of the server. Use ftp.yourdomain.com Port – Use the default port (21). Some clients may ask for the host type (select “auto”), ASCII/Binary/Auto (select “auto), and the initial remote folder (you may leave this blank or change it to /domains/yourdomain.com/public_html to start off in the main web directory). Step 3:Change to the desired directory and upload your files. To upload, highlight the files/folders on your computer and drag them into the appropriate directory on the remote server. Each FTP client operates differently, so please consult its help file for complete instructions.
