To Upload Content/Files using Core FTP

  1. Open Core FTP. You will be presented with the window below.
  2. Provide your domain name under HOST / IP / URL. Type in your Username and Password and click Connect.
    Uploading content is allowed only through FTPS on Port 21. Hence, you need to select the FTPS (SSL DIRECT) option from the Connection drop-down menu. The Port should be set to 21.
  3. Once connected, open the web folder.
    NOTE
    Depending upon the Directory/Folder structure of the Web Hosting package, you would need to upload your files to the relevant folder.
  4. In the left pane, select a file to upload. Right-click on the file and choose Upload.
