your desktop to open up the FTP folder as follow :
Step 2:
On the opening screen click on "New" button to create new connection.
Give a name to this connection in the "Profile Name" column for
example "My Web Site". In the "Host Name/Address" column type our host
IP address "66.246.98.87". Set the "Host Type" to "Automatic detect"
or "Unix". "User ID" is your cPanel username for example "yourdom".
Key in your given password in the "Password" column and tick the "Save
Pwd" on the right if you want the program to remember your password.
Click the "Startup" folder on the top menu to proceed.
Step 3:
In the "Initial Remote Site Folder" type in "/www" or "/public_html"
which is the root directory where all your files will reside. Next in
the "Initial Local Folder" type in the directory in your computer
where you park your web site for example : c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Yourdomain"
. Finally click on "OK" to log on to our server.
Step 4:
When login is successful, you'll see the following display. The left
pane displays all files in your local computer's directory while the
right pane display all files in the root directory of your folder on
our server. You can notice that in the right pane, there is already a
file named index.html being loaded. This is your temporary page
holder. You must replace this index file with your own index file in
order to display your own homepage.
Step 5:
To replace the index.html file and to upload all other files from your
computer to our server, use your mouse to highlight the files
and folders in your local directory (left pane) and click "->" right
arrow button located in between the two panes.
Step 6:
When you are asked if you want to transfer the selected folders and
their contents, click "YES" . You can see the progress of files
transfer in the bottom pane.
Step 7:
When FTP completed, you'll see "transfer completed" being displayed in
the bottom pane.
Step 8:
If you need to create a new folder to contain all your images, click
upon the "MkDir" button on the right side of the left window pane, and
enter the new folder's name in the input box . Your new folder will
appear on the right pane, and just double click on it to open it. Now
you can select (CTL+Click to select several) the graphics you want to
upload to your new folder, and just click on the "->" button as you
did before to upload them. Skip this step if you don't need any new
folder.
Step 9:
To disconnect from your website, simply click on the "Close" button in
the lower left corner.
