Uploading Content

Uploading Site Content

You can upload site content in any of the following ways: via FTP, via SSH, using Plesk File Manager or Microsoft FrontPage. We recommend uploading via FTP, as it is the simplest way.

Via FTP

Connect to server using your FTP account credentials
Upload files and directories that should be accessible via 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.

Using Plesk File Manager

In the Plesk control panel, click the File Manager button on the Domain Administration page.
You can create and upload files and directories only in the following directories: httpdocs, httpsdocs, private and cgi-bin. You should place files and directories that should be accessible via 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.
- Use the Add New Directory button to create new directories.
- To create new files in the required directory, click Add New File, in the File creation section specify the file name, select the Use html template checkbox, if you want file manager to insert some basic html tags to the new file, and click OK. A page will open allowing you to enter the content or html-formatted source of a new file. After you are done, click OK.
- To upload a file from the local machine, click Add New File, specify the path to its location in the File source box (or use the Browse button to locate it), and click OK.

Via SSH (only for Experienced Linux and FreeBSD users)

Use the scp command to copy files and directories to the server: scp your_file_name login@remoteserver.com:path to copy files, and scp -r your_directory_name login@remoteserver.com:path to copy entire directories.

The users of Microsoft Windows can use Microsoft FrontPage to publish the site content via FTP or HTTP. Please, consult the MS FrontPage user documentation for details.
