Uploading Content Using FTP

To publish a website using FTP:

  1. Connect to your webspace on the server with an FTP client program, using your FTP account username and password.

    You can change your username and password in Plesk at the Websites & Domains tab > Web Hosting Access.

    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 the files and directories of your site to the httpdocs directory. If you use CGI scripts, place them in the cgi-bin directory.
  3. Close your FTP session.

You can also set up additional FTP accounts if you need to collaborate on website content with other users. For more information, see the section Adding FTP Accounts.
