Infinity Hosting – Uploading

Uploading Files To Your Website Domain

How to upload files to your domain hosting web space:
You can use the file manager built into cPanel after logging in with your credentials to https://YOURDOMAIN:2083
You can also use any FTP program. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is how files are transferred from your computer to the server hosting your website.

Other common FTP programs for Windows are:

  • WinSCP
  • WS FTP
  • FlashFXP
  • Microsoft Frontpage
  • Macromedia Dreamweaver

FTP programs for Macintosh include:

  • Fetch
  • Cute FTP for Mac
  • Secure FTP

To connect to your web space, you will need these settings:

  • HOST or SERVER: yourdomainname.com
  • USERNAME: Your web hosting username
  • PASSWORD: Your current web hosting password, this is not your email password
  • You will then need to place your files in the correct directory which is “/public_html”.

*Please Note*
For redundancy and security we highly recommend that you keep a back up of all website files on your local computer.

After you files are uploaded you can browse to them at:
