Zabb 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 I dont use the cpanel on anysite but will assume that it has a publi_html or WWW folder, this is your main folder .there is probably also a cgibin and maybe a few others . dont delete any of your folders unless you know what they do.put atleast your index.htm in the Public_html folder. this will be your main page so when you type your address that file will show. ex. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ will be your index file.most of your main site files will go into the Public_html folder. any other folders will be subdirectories not goin to go into alot of detail but 1 example.if you have a downloads folder inside your Public_htm folder and you have a file for downloading called poker.exe inside your downloadsthe link in your index file should be /downloads/poker.exeyour folders will be Public_htm-downloads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 Zabb is exactly right. Uploads can be done using the File Manager in the cpanel. Click on the ICON BESIDE public_html to select the folder, then select Upload files from th list on the left and you will be taken to a page which will browse your local computer for the files to upload. select one file at a time. public_html and www are the same folder (aliases), so if you delete something from www it is also deleted from public_html, so be careful.Do not delete anything from the main account directory as these are files that tha cpanel or fantastico or the server uses for you account. Only delete them if you know what they do. If you don't know what they do, leave them there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetraca 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 It'd be easier to use an FTP manager such as CoreFTP <http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; or Filezilla. Simply connect with your Cpanel name and password and you're set. It's much quicker than uploading them via CPanel unless the host supports zip or tarball decompression.

jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 Yes, the cpanel allows you to upload a zip file and then decompress it. There is a Tutorial about that in the Tuts section.so, to complete the choices, then, here are the three ways to upload a site:1. File manager - one file at a time, slow, but effective. Easy way to begin.2. FTP software - faster to load full sites, requires software. usually drag and drop.3. Zip the site's folders and files, then use either method above to upload the Zip file. Decompress (un-zip) the file.All methods require the site to be uploaded into public_html (or www)` directory or a sub-folder of it, otherwise the files are not accessible from the web.

AnGeL KiSS 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 You can first, use FTP manager and login as: ftp.subdomainuser.trap17.com user: subdomainuser password: subdomainpassword All the pink text above will need to be changed as your information when you requested for a Hosting account. And another way is to login into your Cpanel as you tried. There should be folders there, but find public_html or www. Then upload all your files inside the folder (www or public_html) That should help you If you have any questions I'd love to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenoptic 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 I'vegot some questions could someone give me more details on how to use FTP?Please? And can I use microsoft office Publisher to upload using FTP or is frontpage better? I personally use SmartFTP (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/) It is really easy to do and I know many people who use it. 1. Download the program (^^See Link Above^^) 2. Install and open. Type in the FTP link to your website. Ex: ftp.yourdomain.com 3. Then type in your username and password that you would use to access your control panel and hit enter. 4. Click on the "public_html" or the "www" folder and that is where you upload your files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
