If you do not wish to use a specialized FTP client, you can also use your
web browser to upload/download/delete your files. Follow the process mentioned below to do so:
IMPORTANT
The process demonstrated below is common to all
web browsers. We have here chosen Microsoft Internet Explorer browser to
explain the same.
1. In the browser address bar, type:
(ftp://username:password@yourdomainname.com). Type it without the parenthesis and
customize the information, such that
- username -> Your FTP username
- password -> Your FTP password
- yourdomainname.com -> your domain name
Press enter.
2. Once connected, double-click
the folder to which you wish to upload the files, to open it.
3. Open another explorer window
and go to the folder where your html files (that you want to upload) are
located. Click and drag the files to
upload from the explorer window to the Internet Explorer window that is showing
web. The files will be uploaded.
