Publishing Sites Through FTP

To publish a site through FTP:

  1. Connect to the server with an FTP client program, using FTP account credentials that you specified during setup of hosting account or obtained from your provider. The FTP address should be ftp://your-domain-name.com, where your-domain-name.com is your site's Internet address.

    Enable the passive mode if you are behind a firewall.

  2. Upload files and directories that should be accessible through HTTP protocol to the httpdocs directory, and files/directories that should be transferred securely over SSL protocol to the httpsdocs directory.
  3. Place your CGI scripts into the cgi-bin directory.
  4. Close your FTP session.
