How Can I Upload Files to My Hosting Account?

The original article describes three methods for uploading website files to a hosting account.

1. Use an FTP client

Connect using the account details sent when the hosting service was activated: the server IP address, FTP username and FTP password.

For the setups described in the article, Linux hosting files belong in public_html, while Windows hosting files belong in httpdocs.

The original article recommends FileZilla as a free FTP client.

2. Use a browser’s FTP feature

This method is part of the archived article and depends on browser support; it should not be assumed to work in current browsers.

3. Use the hosting control panel’s file manager

Sign in to cPanel or Plesk and use its file manager to upload files to the hosting account.
