To upload your site through FTP:

Enable the passive mode if you are behind a firewall.
- 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. - Place your CGI scripts into the
cgi-bin
directory. - Close your FTP session.
