Publishing a Site Through FTP

To upload your site through FTP:

  1. Connect to the server with an FTP client program, using FTP account credentials your provider gave you.

    Enable the passive mode if you are behind a firewall.

  2. Upload files and directories that should be accessible through HTTP protocol to the httpdocs directory, and files/directories that should be transferred securely over SSL protocol to the httpsdocs directory.
  3. Place your CGI scripts into the cgi-bin directory.
  4. Close your FTP session.
