FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. FTP is a very common method to transfer files from your desktop to your hosting account and vice versa.
There are many FTP utilities available on the internet. We often recommend a FREE utilitiy called FileZilla, from Mozilla, the developers of the Firefox browser. You can download the FileZilla program here .
In order to connect to your account via FTP you'll need the following:
- Host -- fpt.domain.com (use your actual domain name or your LinkSky server IP address)
- Username
- Password
- Folder/directory -- /www
Anything you want to be seen with a browser will need to be uploaded to the /www folder.
Without getting too specific in my description, the FTP utility will open a window on your computer that will display a list of folders and files in your account in the server. When you drag files into that window, you are uploading them to your account on the server.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need further help.
