How do I upload files to my website?

Location: ftp tool + upload files

As usual we try and give you many options, we offer you the ability to upload files to your site, mange your website and even use our Pro Site Builder which can be found under our Fantastico scripts.

To being using the online FTP please login to your cPanel by going to yoursite.com:2082 - if you are getting a 404 please try mysite.com/cpanel
Once in your cPanel under FILES you will see "Legacy File Manager"

Once into the Legacy File Manager select the option "Web Root (public_html)" and press "go". This will open the online FTP tool in a new window.
If for some reason your still not in the "public_html" folder please click the little icon next to the link "public_html"

You are now in your root, this means any files/folders you upload will be at yoursite.com/ i.e. if you upload mytool.php while under public_html it will upload to yoursite.com/mytool.php

Up at the top of the page near the menu you will see a link

"Upload files", click it to upload a file.

If you upload a page entitled index.html it will be the home page for your site. i.e. anybody going to yoursite.com will get your index.html page. So this should be your first page to create.

If your uploading a script or folders we recommend you download a FTP program such as AceFTP, SmartFTP, WST_FTP or an alternative FTP tool. As always if you are still having trouble please goto http://www.visiohosting.com/support.html and submit a ticket.
