You purchased a domain name relevant to your business and have the beginnings of a website or blog on your web hosting service.
You downloaded some files onto your PC that you want on your website.
How do you transfer these files?
(1) You may download some open-source software to your PC for free to do this. For example, go to FileZilla (from Sourceforge) to download the client software–assuming you are doing this for your own website or blog.
FileZilla is file transfer protocol software, or FTP for short.
(2) Once your FileZilla screen is open, note the boxes at the top labeled Host, username, password, and port.
Typically, you would put your website URL in the Host box, minus the “http://” and the “www.” — such as YourDomainName.com. The username and password would typically be the same you use to get into the cpanel of your website.
The port box can be left blank, or the default port “21″ inserted.
(3) Now note the two columns below. The Local Site (left column) is your PC. The Remote Site (right column) is your website hosted wherever the web host server is located.
Find the file on your PC you want to transfer. Also locate the place you want it put, typically in public_html on your site.
Drag and drop with your mouse. Go into your cpanel, and there it should be!
