CuteFTP
is a very popular and easy to use FTP Program which we highly
recommend. It is very powerful, yet very easy to use and is one
of the simplest ways to access your Host4Yourself Account and
upload your website. With this step-by-step guide, you will be
using CuteFTP and uploading your website in minutes! The first
time you run CuteFTP you will see a window that looks like this:
The
first thing you need to do is setup a new connection so in
the future all you need to do is double click on it to connect
to your account. To do this, click on the "New"
button in the left-hand lower-corner of the window and begin
entering your ftp account information in the right side of
the window like so:
Enter
anything you want under "Label for Site", and then
enter your domain name as the FTP host address. Also enter
your username (which is the same as your domain name) and
password. To make things a little easier, you will also want
to click on the "Edit" button in the bottom-center
of this window.
When
you do this, it will bring up a window that looks like
this. You will want to add "/home/yourdomain/www"
under "Default Remote Directory" so that CuteFTP
will automatically bring you to your web directory. This
step IS optional.
When
you are finished, your window should look like this, where
"yourdomain" is your domain name. Once this is done,
click OK in this window and then "Connect" in the
next window. Now CuteFTP is completely setup and you can instantly
connect to your Host4Yourself Account at any time simply by
running CuteFTP and clicking on the connection you've just
set up!
