How to upload a website using Ftp

Step by Step to upload a website on iPanel using Ftp

Log in to your iPanel Account:

To upload a website using FTP (File Transfer Protocol), you will need an FTP client and the necessary FTP credentials (usually provided by imbra). Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Get FTP Client

Download and install an FTP client such as:

  • FileZilla (free and popular choice)

2. Obtain FTP Credentials

Your web hosting provider should provide the following details:

  • FTP Server/Host: This is usually your domain name (e.g., ftp.example.com) or an IP address.
  • Username: Your FTP account username.
  • Password: Your FTP account password.
  • Port: Typically, FTP uses port 21.


3. Connect to Your FTP Account

  1. Open the FTP client (e.g., FileZilla).
  2. Enter the FTP server/host, username, password, and port (if needed) in the appropriate fields.
  3. Click Quickconnect (or similar option) to establish the connection.

4. Upload Website Files

Once connected:

  1. You will see two panels: the left side (your local computer) and the right side (the server).
  2. Navigate to the folder on your computer where your website files are located.
  3. On the right panel, navigate to the public_html directory (or equivalent) on the server, which is where website files are typically stored.
  4. Drag and drop your website files from the left panel to the right panel to upload them.

5. Verify Upload

Once the files are uploaded:

  1. Open your browser and navigate to your website (e.g., www.example.com).
  2. Check to see if the website is displaying correctly.
