How To Upload My Website !?

I am having a problem related to UPLOAD my site.

buddies , i just sign-in to my c-panel , and i was just wondering that how to uplaod my site...

i go in the FILE MANAGER section but their was too many folder , so i get confused how to upload and in which folder to upload my site...

I just want to mention here that all my site is HTML format , so please help me to UPLOAD my site....

If i delete unwanted folders , then what will happen and if then i upload my site then would it be accessable or not ....

So please please help me , and tell me how to upload my site , and in which folder !

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

Yoe should ask one of the moderaters. They happen to know everything.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Put Your files at www folder ,www folder is shortcut at phublic_html , you can upload files with filemanager at cpanel or with ftp . or zip your file then upload with file manager then unziped at hostat cpanel you can add ftp account for subdomains and ....for use ftp i recommend to you Use flashfxp software its very easy ftp clint , you can download it form http://download.cnet.com/windows/ , but this software is not free .Ftp login :for url of site use this format :ftp.yoursite.comexample : ftp.myaccount.trap17.comusername : cpanel usernamepassword : cpanel passwordthis is master ftp account for your hostingand you can add many ftp account at ftp in cpanel
