Uploading with FTP

A major requirement for maintaining a successful website is a good FTP program. Two such programs are 

WS FTP and CuteFTP, both of which are available from TUCOWS, along with other FTP programs. 

Once you have installed the program, you will need to set up a connection to us. Set the Host name as 

your domain name (in the form of "yourname.com"), and enter your domain and password. Once you are 

connected to the Internet, open the program, and double click on the connection you have created. 

If you are having particular problems setting up your FTP software, be sure to check the help files that 

come with the software, or send email to the author of the package for the quickest response. 

After logging in, you will be automatically put into your home directory. You will need to move to your 

public directory. In a graphical FTP program, all you need do is double click on the public folder in your 

home directory on our server. In WS FTP, the center of your screen will have two buttons, which will allow 

you to upload and download files.
